A. C. Gilbert’s Glass Blowing Set

History Daily

This toy seriously has disaster written all over it. Another doozy from toy maker A.C. Gilbert, who invented the Atomic Energy Lab a ton of other very unsafe toys, this Glass Blowing one sits right on top of the list with the other dangerous toys. Aside from this toy allowing kids to play with molten glass, in their mouths no less, the possibility of breakage resulting in tiny shards of glass flying into mouths, eyes and everywhere else. Forget the fact that these kids were also heating up the glass on actual open flames! Geez, no wonder kids that grew up in the 50s fear nothing, not even losing their lives!
