Photos courtesy of Lonny Beno These signs were
never cataloged, but we can probably date them from the train sets depicted
on them.
The upper sign appears to be a stylized version of the 4615 set
which was offered from 1946-1949, with perhaps an added car at the end.
This sign is most likely from that same time period.
The lower sign is clearly a depiction of the 5110 set, offered in
1951, or K5210 set, offered in 1952, so it is safe to assume that this sign
is from 1951-1952. Since very little was
made available free of charge, I assume these signs were also sold to Authorized
Dealers, much like the
other signs.
I understand that the only
thing the Authorized Service Center operators got for free was a decal to
identify them as such. A framed version of that decal is shown at the
left.
