My latest book, Inside The Lionel Trains Fun Factory

by Robert J. Osterhoff

Author's Package

A special package which includes all of the following items:

A hardbound book, as issued. At the request of the buyer, the book can be personalized and/or signed by the author.

A Lionel Patent Archives CD containing over 450 patent copies -- over 1,600 pages of Lionel and Ives patents and trademarks. This unique archive includes many with the rare patent owner's front page in full color! The CD matches the Appendix listing of Lionel and Ives patents and trademarks in the book!

An original Lionel stock certificate from 1963 or 1964---one of the most interesting eras in Lionel history. This same certificate has been offered on ebay for up to $75 alone! This certificate is absolutely original --not a reproduction, and is for 100 shares of stock. Of course Lionel was de-listed in 1993 and can no longer be traded -- it is a neat collectible only. (The planning sheets illustrated below are not included in this package.)

Price of this Package:

$49.95 + $7.50 Shipping
