The old school chemistry kits were awesome. Some dangerous stuff in there.

More power to the child who can use this thing without burning their baby brother.

I should probably figure out how to properly dispose of it…

I had one of those. And no supervision. I feel like it’s only luck that I survived childhood

I had something like this as a kid. No idea what to do with it. No instructions. I'm lucky nothing horrible happened.

Gilbert chemistry set a classic toy from my youth (this is the 50's version - but in the late 1960s lots of these were still floating around). Used to come with a few potentially nasty compounds. I still remember the sulfur smell in the basement from one bad experiment.

(No not talking about doo-doo).

Ha! I need to get this thing out of my basement before it experiments with itself anymore.

Almost as fun as those die cast soldier makers that included a few bars of lead to be melted.
