QUOTE: Originally posted by nblum I have no doubt that by the standards of today, Lionel's advertising in the JL Cowen era was deceptive and unethical at times. But that was 60-80 years ago. I don't think that justifies similar liberties taken by any advertiser today, when standards of truth in advertising are quite different. One of the objections some have is that MTH on the one hand has a long history of derogatory advertising regarding Lionel. Simultaneously they are profiting off the Lionel name, history and reputation by issuing their own close replicas of Lionel collector's items using the Lionel numbering system, such as "6464" and "400E." That strikes some folks as legal but a form of intellectual piracy, as well as legal but unethical.
