1926 - 1934 BURGUNDY AND DARK GREEN With all the early Meccano Models one colour predominated Nickel Silver. In 1926 that all changed with the introduction of Pea Pod Green and Light Red to a limited range of parts as an experiment, advertised as 'The New Meccano". This must have been a success in that the very next year it was decided to introduce colour to most of the current list of parts however the colours where darkened to Burgundy and Dark Green.
1926 Colours Above 1927 - 34 Below
Sets where tinkered with during this period with a few new parts introduced notably motor (Dunlop) Tyres in 192,8 in 1930 more Tyres and a Circular Plate amongst the introductions.
This period was marked with Introduction of some special sets Aeroplane and Car Constructor had special parts resembling closely those of cars and aircraft to produce a more realistic model, whilst a new Elektron Set as it name suggests and electrical set along with Kemex a chemistry set was introduced.
If anything this was a quite period for the main Meccano Range except for the introduction of colour and a few parts the sets contents where little changed from the Nickel Period however once again change was about to happen. The early part of this period was possibly the most profitable for Meccano Ltd, however the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the depression of the early 1930's took its toll on sales.
