Steelmaster Ltd., Vancouver, c. late 1940s

image

Juneero was an engineering toy developed in Vancouver and made by Steelmaster Ltd. Unlike Mecchano, which allowed only for the construction of devices from the components provided, Juneero empahsized the actual fabrication of the parts used in the assembly of cranes, vehicles, and other mechanical models illustrated in the instruction book. Parts were made from aluminum and steel provided in the kit, using a British-made multipurpose cutting and bending tool and a threading device.
