Yes Oliver, it sounds very interesting!!!!
The first one V-1869 is likely the 1963-64 Canadian Samsonite catalog.
The LE-21-66 is the 1966 Canadian Samsonite Spare Parts list.
"THE LEGO STORY" - 3551-CA is likely the 1968-69 Canadian Samsonite catalog.
The large "73" is indeed the 1973 Canadian Samsonite catalog.
And that last one is a mystery to me, but it could be 1975 alright.
If you could send me quality scans of those I would be sooo grateful! I would
also like to give a copy to PEERON to add to their Yearly catalog scans (the
ones they are taking over from Brickshelf), which is not yet online.
The former Brickshelf catalogs were heavy into European catalogs, especially
Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Britain. I was hoping to get them a lot of
USA/Canada scans to improve their selection, especially the 1960's.
Thanks,
Gary Istok
P.S. The only one I wouldn't need is the LE-21-66 1966 parts list, which I
already have.
