Pre-war Brickplayer - Kits B5 and B7
Spears' first Brickplayer kits were made in 1938. Dave Meesam's original brickplayer.co.uk
website mentioned two kits, numbered B5 and B7. Instructions were given for just five models
in the B7 kit, of which only three could be built with Kit B5. See the
Brickplayer components page for a discussion of what was
included in these kits.
A simple 4-page instruction booklet was provided. Rather than the
blueprints provided in later kits, separate detailed plans were given for each model, including
a ground plan. Plans for three models from a Kit B5 are courtesy of Timothy Edwards,
who has also provided the following images of a B5 kit.
