| Provenance/History |
APH began making its Mitchell Wire Forms with Matched Planes and Volumes kit in 1955. This set, which included only the 3-D forms from that original set, was introduced as a special offer in 1993, to dispose of excess inventory after the Mitchell Forms kit was discontinued around 1989. It sold for $13.00 and appeared only in the 1993-94 catalog. |
