8x9-7/8" silver gelatin photo on heavy stock w/matte finish shows four children sitting next to Christmas tree w/their opened presents on display. Printed text at bottom of photo reads "Christmas 1938" and among the Christmas gifts is the "Lionel Mickey Mouse Circus" set (see previous lot), w/the circus tent set up and Mickey Mouse figure standing in front. Introduced in 1935, Lionel sold this popular set for years after its debut. Exc. First we've seen in our 58 years. A truly special item for Mickey Mouse and Lionel train collectors and something very different for those that thought they had it all pertaining to this classic toy. Thom Carchedi Collection.
