Samsonite LEGO gears are introduced in the Christmas 1965 catalog.  Many sets
which never made it into a LEGO catalog are featured (such as 244, 324, 536,
etc.)

Eric,

Thank you for helping bring this bit of LEGO history to our attention.  These
are great scans. The ads are so much fun to look at and imagine what it might
have been like as a young kid seeing them for the first time.  They are just
about 10 years or so before my own childhood LEGO years, so they are not
pictures that I have seen before.

Thanks again!
Allan B.
