100 series features

 

The 100 series or 100 series "Export", produced in July 1976, consists of 22 packs of dimensions 9 x 15.5 x 2 cm, containing subjects in H0 scale, with catalog numbers from 101 to 122.

The 100 series was initially produced in a first graphic format which did not bear the wording "made in Italy" on the back of the packaging, a wording added only later, effectively forming two different editions called "first edition" and "second edition".
It should be noted that, probably immediately before the production of the "second edition", the "first edition" series 100 packages were marketed with stickers with the words "Made in Italy".

The 100 series was also produced in 2 other "editions" for the foreign market:
an "international edition" which which bears on the back in addition to the wording "made in Italy" the addition of the wording "plastic non toxic" and a "French edition",
whose packaging intended for the French market shows on the back, in addition to the words "made in Italy" and "plastic non toxic", a "wording" in which the importer, Claudie Berthier Services of Lyon, guaranteed compliance with the most rigorous standards across the Alps.

Of packs 119, 121 and 122, 2 different French editions are known, called type A and type B, which differ on the back; the type A edition bears the words "made in Italy" and "plastic non toxic" in the upper quadrant, while the type B edition in the lower quadrant.

It should be noted that packs n ° 119 and n ° 122, despite the different title, have the same content and that the same cover illustrations of the 100 series will be used later in the 2000 series.

On the front of the packages there is the name of the subject and the image that represents it.

On the side edges we find the Atlantic logo, the scale, the words "Export series" and the catalog number, while on the upper edge only the Atlantic logo and on the lower edge the words "Export series" and the catalog number.

On the back of the packages there is a more or less complete list of the catalog numbers of the same series and images of the contents with assembly instructions.
