Here are the three Kelmar Pow'r house rides that are in my
collection.

The original Airplanes were in bad shape so I made some new
ones.

Cool toys Bill 8) I like the reversing of the swings in the
video.
Have not heard of these before... Did you buy them pre-built or
did you find some old kits?
I see there is a very nice kit on ebay right now, I'll have to
watch for a "rough" set...

Nice videos ! Thanks for posting them. I have a un-built Kelmar
Pow'r house unit from about 1946. It's interesting to see to see
the accessories in action.

And the Kelmar box lid .... "Toys For Boys from 6 to 60" and the
accessories were a "Carnival Of Fun For The Youth Of America On
The March"

Nick, it looks like you've found most of the info I have on the
Kelmar product line.
Here is what the content of my Sky ride box look like
[attachimg=1]
The original Airplanes, some had warped wings, probably sat in
some hot attic for many years.

The instructions, very thin paper.

These are the kind of accessories that really appeal to me -
they take me back to my boyhood dreams (didn't have any money
back then either). Very nice!
