LIONEL GIRL’S TRAIN SET. An unbelievable fresh-to-the-market find. In an attempt by Lionel to reach a wider audience, the company created a set for girls in more cheery pastel colors. Not many were sold, making them very scarce today, not to mention being able to find a set with all their original boxes, even the set box! The set includes the engine, tender, canister car, two box cars, hopper car, gondola car, caboose, and transformer. Coming directly from the original owner, they were purchased for her because, coming from a family of all boys, she was left out of much of their fun. Her brothers were not allowed to use it, and the few times she ran the train, she immediately put the set back in their boxes until the next time, which accounts for their stellar condition. CONDITION: Engine has one or two tiny chips on cab roof and one or two tiny rub marks on coupler base. Caboose has one or two minor blemishes on roof. Box car 6464/510 has a few small chips on ladder and one chip missing. Set box number 15875 has two flaps with tattered edges; one box seam is loose; two flaps have brown tape on them, probably original to the set; one corner torn and retaped. 1-7734 (3,500-5,000) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Fall 2007 Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day. |
