Around 1963 my mom was at May Company in North Hollywood CA and they had marked down Lionel rolling stock to 88 cents. She picked up a #6445 Fort Knox Gold Bullion Transport Car for me. They also marked down a bunch of Lionel/Porter science sets which she bought as gifts for friends of mine who had birthday parties. A few years later a local electronics parts store had closeouts of Lionel slot cars for $1.00.
