Does anyone know if Lionel made two catalogs (brochures) for 1945? I have seen reproductions of the really rare Christmas brochure but I have not seen the 1945 brochure that I have. Mine has a boy on the front cover with his thumb in the air saying "Hi, Fellows! I cannot find any information. I recently purchased a Lionel paper collection from a former employee of Lionel back in the early fifties. His collection also included the rare large 1946 early spring merchant catalog. This poor guy has had several strokes and its very difficult for him to communicate. I wish it was easier for him so I could talk to him about his history with Lionel. Thanks for any help.
