I was recently bequeathed a Lionel pre-war O gauge set that I'd like to know more about. It has the original set box and all the cars are in their individual boxes. Unfortunately, a piece of tape partially obscures the set number. All I can make out are the last three numbers: 233. The set includes a 258 engine, 257T tender, 806 yellow stock car, 807 red caboose, 803 blue hopper, 804 gray tank car, and a 902 light blue/aqua gondola.
I have looked online in an effort to identify the set, but - while I could find individual pieces/parts - I had no luck finding the set. The only other thing I can add is that the man who gave it to me was the original owner and he said he got the set as a Christmas present sometime in the 1930's.
Thanks very much in advance for anything you can tell me.
Jim
