Mecanic(7)
A.W.S. was a Meccano-like constructional system with some unusual parts made out of aluminium. It was made in Germany from 1945 to 1948
Mecanic(7) is almost the same as A.W.S. but with steel instead of alloy parts.

Almost as 'A.W.S.' but steel instead of alloy parts, & probably extra smaller Pulley. *1 2 Double Gears in set seen but probably foreigners. *2 Holes look slightly larger than 'A.W.S.'
