A. C. Gilbert’s Molten Lead Casting Kit

History Daily

In case Atomic lab kits, glass blowing kits and chemistry kits weren’t enough, here’s another mindboggling one called the Molten Lead Casting kit that yes, allows kids to handle incredibly hot and dangerous metals. Aside from having the kids heat up metals in a melting pot, kids can then pour them into all sorts of molds in the shape of animals, soldiers, athletes and whatever else the set came with. You could even buy more molds not included in the set, proving that this one was probably one of the more popular kits of Gilbert regardless of how dangerous it was.
