    I got something like that from Sears when I was 10 or 11. Actually had an illuminated magnifier with a mm scale. That would be handy now! It was big and was basically a flashlight with a magnifier head on it. It took C batteries!

    No, never saw it.

    Maybe they didn't have them in Canada (I was born in 1959).

    Very cool item.

    From the wear, it looks like it got well used, which is a good thing. :)

    I used it lot. Still have most of the contents. Lots of fond memories.

    That Whitman Eagle is ready for war! The arrows are in the right talon...and appears to smoking something too!

    I remember seeing that kit at Woolco's (or it may have been TG&Y) Department store back in my youth.

    Amazon has a similar, not deluxe, kit for about $10.

    Whitman has a 629 piece kit for about $30.
