Description: A bulk lot of 10 original vintage Meccano #5 standard 5-hole flat strips in classic green enamel. As fundamental building blocks of the Meccano system, 5-hole flat strips are among the most frequently used structural connectors for securing framework, assembling steering and gear linkages, and reinforcing machine bases.

All 10 strips remain structurally straight and unbent, making them ideal for builder supply, cleaning, or restoration projects.
