elvisp posted:Found a couple receipts in old original boxes. The first was found in a prewar Winner set. The set was bought on 12/23/32. The second was found in the box of a postwar generator car. Receipt and sale sticker. Person got a great deal - 1/2 of the sale price.
Those receipts are really cool! Thanks for posting them. I'll have to post the other receipts from Lopo's from 1959 and 1960 that I mentioned! Although unusual for the times, my mother actually attended business college for a year, and kept meticulous records, which ultimately helped my father, who was a contractor. She obviously knew how significant those trains had become in my life, and kept those receipts. She and my father also kept the trains, and returned them to me when my wife and I bought our first house.
