Before LEGO ran its own North American business, the luggage maker Samsonite produced the sets there under licence. This tiny sub-theme of Educational and Dacta holds two educational sets from that period.

About Samsonite
What the catalogue holds
The Samsonite Large Educational Set (7100-1) dates from 1963; no inventory is recorded for it, so its piece count shows as 0. The Educational Gear Set (322-4) from 1969 is better documented, with 43 pieces, and as the name suggests it centres on gears. Two sets spread over six years make this one of the smallest corners of the education range, but they are an interesting footnote for anyone collecting early North American sets. The parts list for the Gear Set is available on its set page, which helps if you want to check a vintage box for completeness.
