Vac-U-Form By Mattel 1960s Plastic Mold Toy With Original Box

Vac-U-Form By Mattel 1960s Plastic Mold Toy With Original Box Introduced by Mattel in the early 1960s, the Vac-U-Form brought the industrial process of vacuum forming into the home as a creative children’s toy. The electrically heated machine allowed users to soften sheets of plastic and form them over three-dimensional molds using vacuum pressure, producing miniature cars, boats, airplanes, masks, signs, and other shapes. Mattel offered numerous accessory and mold sets that expanded the projects children could create. Today, the Vac-U-Form is remembered as an inventive example of the hands-on science and maker-oriented toys that became popular during the Space Age and remains collectible among enthusiasts of vintage Mattel toys and mid-century childhood memorabilia.Excellent condition.
