Awesome to see! Super cool the box is still in good shape! Also it happens that it should not be over here in Canada! (Look at item notes) hmmm, who wrote that note?!      *  263-1 (Inv) Kitchen Set 172 Parts, 1974 Sets: Homemaker Good question! Do you think that this is evidence enough to challenge the note? The original owner bought it new at the store for their kid. Real evidence would be if it shows up in Canadian catalogs or if the box shows it was produced in Canada. A total sum of zero evidence is given for this claim which is of course simply False. The original owner (who still owns it BTW) said that they bought it new from a store for their kid. Plenty proof if you ask me.    Samsonite imported some sets without creating or changing parts. Example:   *  7710-1 (Inv) Push-Along Passenger Steam Train 412 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1980 Sets: Train: 4.5V There is no print "Samsonite" on the box of multiple copies I bought or saw. Multiple copies of 103-1 I got or saw do not have any "Samsonite" on the box and have seen only one image of a copy with "samsonite" printed on it. There are also some sets sold in Canada that were not advertised on the Canadian catalogs. Promotional sets like 610, 611, 105, 107 are some of them, but I have not seen 646-1 that I own with Canadian box and I am pretty sure (can find other such sets) there are other sets from 70s and 80s sold in Canada while there were not advertised in Canada. So there is nothing to believe a set was sold only if it was printed in a Canadian catalog or came with a Canadian box. So these types of evidence or statements, so-called "real evidence" would result to false result and therefore are not reliable. Again, these two sets were sold in Canada, have been seen regularly on Canadian marketplaces, and I bought a huge old lot, consisting or rare items such as 182 with Samsonite stamp on the box, and other sets without box such as an ultra rare   *  442-2 Decorator Set 1969 Sets: Samsonite: Supplemental and it included 263 and 264. Have seen (on Canadian marketplaces )these two boxes multiple times without "Samsonite" print on their boxes. Only one time I have seen the box 264 with Canadian Samsonite print on it. And no, I have barely seen on Canadian marketplaces any set from 70s and 80s that was not sold in Canada.    Also, in that period Homemaker Sets / Building Sets with People were sold with a different number in North America, like   *  196-1 (Inv) Antique Car 115 Parts, 1975 Sets: Building Set with People: Traffic versus   *  252-1 (Inv) Locomotive with Driver & Passenger 115 Parts, 1974 Sets: Building Set with People: Train Although BrickLink shows a mix of set numbers sold in Europe & Canada versus USA and Europe versus Canada & USA. North America also had it's own unique sets later on, like   *  5233-1 (Inv) Bedroom 156 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1980 Sets: Homemaker   *  5235-2 (Inv) Schoolroom 231 Parts, 1982 Sets: Homemaker So I don't see it as evidence enough to say that this set was also released in Canada, unless I am missing Canadian info on your box images. Or maybe someone could check all their Canadian catalogs of 1974 and up. I will ask Russell if he has a Canadian catalog showing this set. Diana
