I have a towbar that came with set #285 Samsonite Gift set. I'm assuming it
came with the set, however I did recieve it opened but in very nice shape.
I also have an instruction sheet to an unnumbered red Samsonite tanker truck
with grey tires and uses red slopes to give the rounded appearance of the
tank. Hope this helps.

Not off hand, but there are several sets from the 70's that use these.
