I am now leaning more toward the first 2 options. Perhaps the poor quality
reflects Samsonites inability to match lego's quality. Come to think of it, my
#717? Samsonite has some errors (or inconsistencies) in its instructions as
well.


Did someone say "Junior Constructor"?  Set 717..... from 1961-64.  Is that the one
you are talking about Jason (by the way, glad you decided to "de-lurk").  If so, are
you talking about the earlier gabled house (1961-62) or the later flat roofed house
(1963-64) version of the Junior Constructor?  I always thought the building
instructions were only on the inside lid of the box.  Do you have other instructions
to this set?  (Note: I first got the later version of thiis set as a kid in 1963, my
mother threw away the box, and I obtained another complete set on EBAY in 1998.)
Also, the (Samsonite only) Junior Constructor was the first model kit LEGO ever sold
(it was not part of the Town Plan).

I just wanted to thank Michael Huffman for this scan. I mean that sincerely too. This has been very exciting. I never posted to this web site before, but this was the catalyst for my participation. I am still a bit confused, but must admit those (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-00, to lugnet.general)
