I bought this car on Ebay because I like promotional/advertising boxcars. Now, the question is "Who is it for?" It's a Bachmann car and it's marked as a registered trademark. My first guess was Michaels Craft Stores, but it's not their logo. I tried googling "Michaels Where Quality Costs Less" and came up with nothing. Anybody know what this Michaels is?


These are the Michaels Craft Store logos I found -

But it's not that Michaels.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean it's not their logo? If you look at the M and the s on either end, the whorls and such are exactly the same as the ones on the boxcar, or so close it doesn't matter. Same pattern. They may change store statements . but I'd say it IS Micheal's craft store. I'm like Mitt Romney, I'd bet 10 cent I was right.

I'm with Jerry...it's got to be the craft store. It would make sense too because they do sell a limited amount of modeling supplies.
