    Scarce 1950s GIANT 55" Vtg Porter Chemcraft ATOMIC ENERGY Chemistry Set!
    Master Deluxe lab #639 in metal case.  in fantastic overall shape, mostly complete.  still sealed uranium ore and radium.  the flap of the display envelope has pulled past the staple as shown, but still sealed and still displays sharply. Gorgeous aesthetic to this version with clean paperwork and displayable case.   comes with the full book and charts as well as other booklets for experiments.
    These sets in this level completion have become a grail piece for science and oddity collectors at this point.  Always fun to make conversation about your Uranium ore!  Every few years a new article is published somewhere, typically referring to the ATOMIC set as almost mythical- an object only to be found in museums, or referencing David Hahn who built his own neutron source as a teen.
    Finding an atomic set can be tricky.  these larger sets in this nice a shape, even moreso.
    shipping these can be tricky but I've done it before a number of times. please expect a thin pipe or two to possibly break in shipping, though most glass will be removed and wrapped.
    please feel free to ask any questions.
