Reply to "2 Score And 17 Years Ago, On A Christmas Morning...From Lopo's Camera And Train Store"

Thanks Marty! I was quite shocked to find these original bills. In addition to the Super "O" set number, and price, the bill contained Lopo's address in Detroit, which I had not been able to find online. Interestingly, the bill also shows that Lopo's carried American Flyer and HO, which makes sense, although I didn't remember this. Only one of my friends had an American Flyer layout, and all of my other friends had Lionel. in this regard around Christmas time, each of us would bring the new Lionel Catalogs to our grade school to study when we had some free time. Our Cub Scout Pack had an annual Christmas wreath sale, and, each of the top three sellers received Lionel items for their layouts. As I recall, I "earned" a Lionel missile launching car by being the "Top Seller" one year. That was a great addition to my trains, and, I was thrilled.
