For Sale: American Flyer by Lionel
(last updated September 8, 2009)
I am also helping a lady sell her late father's collection on behalf of her mother.  She's in no rush to sell so you can buy things in batches over the coming months.  Her primary interest is that they go to people who will appreciate them as much as her father did.  The whole collection has been kept in an air conditioned outbuilding with a dehumidifier.

I don't have any of the items shown on this page; these are pictures she sent me.  If you are interested in any of these items, email me at theupstairstrain@yahoo.com and I will have her ship them to me so I can verify condition and we'll negotiate prices that are fair to both you and the widow.  Please include your address so I can calculate shipping charges and send you an invoice with the total.

On this page there are about 100 of the recent American Flyer engines and cars made by Lionel; see the following list.  She and her mother are almost certain that none of these items have ever been out of the box.  For reference purposes, I show 2008 Greenberg book values in the list, but these should not be interpreted as asking prices. Make an offer she can't refuse!  Email me: theupstairstrain@yahoo.com.

Separate pages show:

- hundreds of used Gilbert Flyer items in the collection: engines, freight cars, passenger cars, and accessories.  She's still working on the list and pictures of those.  I have only just begun to upload those pictures; If you're interested, check back often!

- a list (with pictures) of freight cars and accessories in the collection made by other manufacturers: American Models, Lionel, Marx, and Littletown.
Here's the list of mint condition Lionel Flyer items:
