Authoritative Guide to Lionel’s Promotional Outfits 1960 - 1969

Authoritative Guide to Lionel’s Promotional Outfits 1960 - 1969 (Paperback) By John W. Schmid (Author), Roger Carp & George J. Schmid (Editor). This book showcases the more than 700 electric train outfits (sometimes called "uncataloged train sets") that Lionel created exclusively for retailers and promotional firms (Sears Roebuck and Co., J. C. Penney, Montgomery Ward, Spiegel, Western Auto, A&P, Quaker Oats, and many other firms) during one of the most important and yet overlooked periods in its history.
spacer
With limited production and distribution, Lionel’s promotional outfits are some of the rarest and most valuable products it ever produced. But because these sets never appeared in a Lionel consumer catalog, their contents – even their existence – remained uncertain for decades – UNTIL NOW!

"This work is one that is unequaled by anything previously available... Anyone with an interest in postwar Lionel should consider this ground breaking book" - Bill Schmeelk, June 2007 issue of LCCA’s The Lion Roars.
