Does anyone know if Lionel made a 6112 Blue Gondola with no white lettering stamped on it at all?
I acquired one at a flea market, and it doesn't appear to have had its lettering removed by chemical means. It is perfectly clean with no sign of residue from the white paint.
Confirmation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, Lionel made a number of cars without any lettering.
I am aware of tenders, gondolas, hoppers, and cabooses.

Strange that it's not listed in any of the Lionel guides.
Lionel made some very inexpensive sets in the 1960's. These had some undecorated cars like the gondola, flat, hopper and caboose. There's a blue undecorated gondola on eBay with no takers at $4.99 buy-it-now.

I don't have a current guide Some, perhaps all, are listed in at least one of the older Greenburg guides I have.
Greenberg 6112 Version B. Came with 3 or 4 white canisters. Canisters are worth more than the car. Since there is not a number on the car the box will determine. But since no box, there were other short gondolas like this one produced.

Thanks for your input, Moe. The guy I bought the car from had only one of those canisters. But, he said it didn't belong with the car. So, I ended up getting two orange reels to go with it. I feel jipped. However, on the plus side, I feel I can make use of this car and more like it IF I can find more. Thanks again.
