officialfuel,
Thank you
bratjdd,
Thank you
AR8Jason,
Thanks for the info.
There is a rather hard to find toy Pullman car Sleep Dolly Sleep Case made by playskool . They were expensive to make and so they were also high priced . Not many could afford them so production stopped shortly after so the market was never flooded with them . They highly sought after by doll collectors as well as train and toy people . I had one once but here is what they looked like and came with 2 little dolls a boy and a girl . All the blankets and bedding and cushions for bench seats .
Thanks for sharing your neat blanket :-)
This one is missing the table that was removable and because of that sold low .

On a sad side note; I just read today (8/22/12) that the last Pullman train car attendant died yesterday in Calf.
