From 1961, Lionel train set for $11.95 and two box-tops...I never liked oatmeal much as a kid, but I think I would have eaten a bucket-full to get one of these:

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Lionel got in trouble with the FTC or some other Federal agency for misrepresenting the value at $25.00.
