Chemistry sets were popular gift items for kids in the 1950s. The one pictured was part of the Chemcraft line of chemistry “toys” and was labeled as including Uranium ore. Yes, fun with radioactive materials, boys and girls. The one shown cost about twenty-five dollars and was the most expensive one offered for sale at the time. In present day dollars I’m guessing that was more or less equivalent to $250.00. Incidentally, the Uranium ore in the sets was real but Geiger counter tests showed a “safe” level of radiation.
Sometimes the difference between Chemistry and Physics has to be explained. It had to be explained to the two chemists who thought they had accidentally invented Cold Fusion.
