The exact date that Plimpton ceased production of these sets is uncertain, though they are not mentioned in any literature printed after 1938. I do, however know of at least 1 set which was bought after war was declared, but this could, of course, have been residual stock. |
||
Ornamental Additions Sets were intended to supplement the standard range of sets. |
||
Detailed below are the complete parts lists for the BAYKO Ornamental Additions Sets from this production period. |
||
I hope you find this useful. |

If you've spotted an error in the list or want to debate any of the figures... |

BAYKO, at this point, was made throughout from BAKELITE... |
|
These parts / colour variants actually first appeared in these sets. |
|
The Green Arches, highlighted in yellow in the table below, were unique to these sets, though they were available separately, in common with all BAYKO parts. |
|
These sets were not intended to be used on their own and no models could be built with them... |
|
...not least because they don't contain any Bases or Rods!!! |
|
They were intended to to provide a range of fancier parts - 'ornamental' in fact - to supplement the standard sets of the day and increase the variety of BAYKO models which could be built. |
|
The actual colour of the parts varied during the period : - |
||
The earliest "Red Corners" were almost certainly Brown. |
||
The Green colour of the Arch varied from a dark almost olive green, via a mid green, to a very pale green. |
||
Later versions possibly had all White Pillars rather than half Red and half White. |
||
Uniquely, the Ornamental Additions Sets did not include an instruction manual... |
||
They were, however, first mentioned in the second style of BAYKO manual... |
