Welcome Norman (Willkommen Norman!) to the wonderful world of LUGNET!!
By your EMAIL I take it that you are either American (or from another
English speaking country), or you have excellent English writing skills. (I
think you are American because you said "grandpa" and because you said "10
DM" instead of DM10 or DM10,- like a native German would). But you do have
a German last name (Mensing).
It's always good to get people to delurk.........

.... and while I'm on an "end of USA Samsonite" tangent. Look at this page from
a 1972 J.C. Penney catalog.... these department store Samsonite Lego catalog
sets (unique to USA) had huge parts counts... huge sets with over 800, 900, and
1,200 parts (from Eric Strand's excellent Lego set catalog collection):
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1299195
USA Samsonite was desperately dumping their remaining inventory of plastic/parts
in order to get rid of it all before TLG took over the Lego license later in
1972.
Note: these catalog Samsonite sets were in inventory in department store
warehouses and available for sale until August 1973. So although Samsonite lost
the license in 1972, the remaining department store stock was sold in 1973,
simultaneous with 1973 TLG sets.

Josh,
I too think you may be in luck. Most parents don't even let their kids use
superglue, because it will bond 2 fingers together as well (without melting them
of course!). There are safety warnings on the glue container, so parents should
keep it away from children.
