Armciclo
Castco was a construction system that used rods connected by clamps. Just one set is known 'Make a Bike'. It was made in the USA by Castco Inc., Long Island, New York shortly after WW2.
Armciclo was virtually identical to the above set apart from two extra parts. Not certain of the country of origin, but Argentina being the most likely, probably shortly after WW2.
