This is a list of the prices of BAYKO building sets, as advertised over the product's lifetime. The primary source for the prices is 'MECCANO Magazine', though some comes from 'Games & Toys', the trade magazine and more from assorted retail fliers, etc. - I'll fill in the gaps as information becomes available. |
For consistency, the prices are all shown in the original Shillings and Pence [s/d] format used in the adverts. Prices were not shown in Pounds, Shillings and Pence [£/s/d] until the MECCANO era. |
For those of you who don't feel comfortable with the old currency system, I have also produced a separate page showing set prices in the modern decimal format as well. |
