This is a marvellous and rare to find Antique Pinit No.3 Wooden Construction Toy Model Maker, with the Company based in Richmond, England. It comes in the original box, includes the instruction book, information book, lots of wooden parts, two bags of mixed pins and other accessories. Also included is a made up bi-plane which will be provided as is, already made up. 

The wooden pieces and accessories are in good condition but do exhibit some age-related wear, which includes a small quantity of wooden pieces with slight damage, but not many. The box is also in good condition but also exhibits some age-related wear from storage and handling, which includes a tear to a corner. 

PINIT (or PIN-IT) was a wooden construction set system, produced c1921, consisting of a collection of long thin square cross-section wooden rods drilled with holes, and standard "split pins" to connect them together.

The patent for the system (GB159330) was applied for on 27th November 1919 by Percy Samuel Fowler, Automobile Engineer, of 15 Cobham Road, Norbiton, Surrey, and was granted in February 1921. Fowler had also patented another constructional toy idea (GB191504520 ― 1916-02-17), of a "Meccano-like" system that used pegs with tapered ends instead of nuts and bolts.

We’ve only been able to find information about the sets online at the Brighton Toy and Model Museum, so are extremely rare.
