Wallis, TX
I had one but dad always seemed to watch me fairly close. IIRC it didn't have everything needed in the set to make gunpowder or explosives. After reading & hearing about the Texas City explosion (caused by ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel) and dad showing a piece or metal his uncle found 10 miles away I was pretty scared of trying to make anything go bang.
