THE HALLOWEEN GENERAL SET - UNCATALOGUED 1960
This is set number X-507NA from Gifts Galore as a drug store give-away. It has been erroneously identified as a Sears set for many years. The actual Sears General set, number 9666 contained an 1862 locomotive and 1865/1866 passenger cars. This set display tray measures approx. 26 x24 x3.5 inches with glitter applied. The 1882 locomotive and 1882T tender were black and orange plastic with gold heat stamped lettering. The locomotive was equiped with a light but not smoke. The 1866 mail car was a standard production yellow body with brown roof version car that was standard in 1862 027 sets. The blue 1885 passenger car was unique to this set. It had a brown roof and white heat stamped lettering. The 1887 flat car with yellow fence was also unique to this set. It had yellow heat stamped lettering. The set contained a unique 963 frontier set box with cabin, fence, windmill, pump, horses and cows.

The set box was a large maroon flat box without a lid containing a die-cut filler with red and green sparkles that fit into a plain cardboard sleeve. 027 track included 12 curve, 4 straight, 1 90 degree crossing and a 1015 transformer. 1882 locomotive and 1882T tender are in like new and mint condition respectively.
