| It’s 1950 and this bright-eyed, freckle-faced boy is having the best Christmas ever- he’s getting a Lionel Train set! In its heyday in the ‘50s, when this ad ran in Life Magazine, Lionel Trains are still the locomotive enthusiasts’ favorite collectible. Founded in 1900 in New York City, the Lionel Company in now owned, in part, by rock star Neil Young. Look in the lower left corner for an insert of another American icon, Joe DiMaggio. Framed in New York cherry wood. |
