Does anyone have a 1970's Canadian Lego catalog?  I am finishing up on the Lego
CD, and I am a little "short of data" on Canadian sets of the 1970's.

I need to find out what spare parts packs were produced back then, if any. • _________________________________________________________________

The oldest one I have is a 1976 Samsonite.

On page 10 it shows the "Accessory Sets" sets in the list I've left above.

Interestingly though... on the back cover it also shows the briefcase that is
shown in the image that Calum posted:

However, in my catalog, the product number is 417000.  In Calum's pic it looks
like they shortened the number later.

The back cover also shows an Idea Book with the product number as 430002.  I
think it's just Idea Book #2.

As an aside... that briefcase was my most 'wished-for-but-never-got' LEGO set.
:)

I don't have the scanner hooked up at the moment, but if you would find it
useful, I can get you pics tomorrow.

Regards,
Allan B.
