Notes
This is an early issue of this Dinky classic (1954-60) in fawn and green finish with tinplate shutters, without window glazing.
Occasional little rough casting marks and the usual marks visible during the operation of the winding handle ( metal against metal marks-unavoidable).
Very crisp and fresh pictorial box has such intense colours!.Very minor shelf grubbiness on the box underside and a little puncture caused by the winding handle during storage has pressed back into place. Very small end flap tear. No graffiti.
