The current description for 244-1 is "USA Fao Schwarz Exclusive."

The set never sold at FAO. It first appeared in 1967 at Sears and was sold exclusively
at Sears from 1967-71. I've attached a 1967 appearance at Sears: The Atlanta
Journal, November 30th, 1967 (Page 55)

This can be double checked with the Sears Wishbooks, which are freely available
online. The 244 never appears in an FAO catalog.
