When did Lionel start selling 027 track?

Earl

in 1933 O27 track was sold by Lionel as "Lionel-Ives" track.  from 1934 - 1936, the name was changed to "Lionel Junior".  the name, Lionel "O27" Track, first appeared in the 1937 catalog.

straight or curve section, 15¢; 90° crossing, $1

a pair of manual switches was $2.75; remote for $6.75.

My understanding is that it was an Ives product originally, so 1930 would fit that scenario.

Probably 1930 with the Winner line of trains.

I'm not sure of the exact date, but I know it was some time later on in the prewar era.
