I picked up a very old Samsonite set late last week.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=27882
I have been unable to find out any information on this set. Neither LUGNET
nor BrickSet have it in their database. I couldn't find any completed eBay
auctions for it nor any mention of it in LUGNET News. Any of you Samsonsite

Unfortunately the Danish flag is broken. Other items of interest are three
25x25 (yes, 25x25) grey baseplates and the original paperwork.
