World’s Favorite Construction Set! Educational, Creative, Entertaining ~Vintage Tinker Toys with two original containers. On the container is: “No. 136, Approximately 127 pieces, The Toy Tinkers Division of A.G. Spalding & Bros, Inc., Evanston, Illinois.” Circa 1955 – 1969.

They are in good condition but the original containers have wear from age as you can see from the pictures. I did not count the pieces but it seems to be close to its original number of at least one set.
