LIONEL BAILEYS SPECIAL  DEPARTMENT STORE BOXED SET 1930 UNIQUE

\\      

DESCRIPTION:    THIS LOCO IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH COMMON MAROON NO8 FROM 1923.  THE1923 LOC HAD NO CREAM STRIPE, STRAP HEADLIGHTS, AND EARLY MOTOR.  THE BOX IS MARKED "WINE" AND THIS SET WAS SOLD IN 1930.  NOTE THAT THESE ARE THE EARLY 30 SERIES PASSENGER CARS LAST CATALOGUED IN1926. THIS SET APPEARED LONG AFTER THAT!!    BAILEY'S DEPT STORE WAS A CLEVELAND LANDMARK  AND MY GUESS IS THAT THEY ORDERED 100 OR SO SETS FOR CHRISTMAS 1930. LIONEL HAD SOME SURPLUS "STUFF" TO GET RID OF, AND THE STOCK MARKET HAS CRASHED AND CASH WAS TOUGH TO GET.  SO THEY  MIXED AND MATCHED AND VOILA, THE SET!

THE  SET SHOWN HERE, BY SOME MIRACLE, IS COMPLETELY FREE OF SCRATCHES. IT IS GOLDEN SPIKE EXCLUSIVE. YOU WILL NEVER, EVER , SEE IT AGAIN , ESPECIALLY PERFECT.
