Metallbaukasten(10) Construction Sets

Metallbaukasten(10) was a simple Meccano-like constructional system. It was made in Germany in the late 1940s

There are two different sets, however they appear to both be made by the same manufacturer. For convenience one is classified as Metallbaukasten(10a) and the other as Metallbaukasten(10b)
