Joined: 14/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,802 Location: Wurttemberg		Hi, It is an electrical distributor made by KIBRI, Germany. I found this boxed example on a toy-market near the Stuttgart Airport today. It has also holes for the smaller 00-gauge plugs, so I would estimate it made in the late 1930s. Looking at the sketch on the top of the box everybody understands the function. "D.R.G.M Ges. Gesch." stands for a patented design protected by law. Regards Markus
