Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
This fine two-piece Gift Set from Corgi is always popular with collectors. This example is in all original and unused condition comprising:
a) Corgi 1128 Priestman Cub Shovel. In close to mint condition with a couple of (must be!) factory marks at the rear. Very fine lustre. Intact original black rubber tracks. Perfect ‘Priestman Cub’ transfer at the side and rear of the vehicle. Mechanism for raising and lowering the jib works well. Cab containing driver is glazed.
b) Corgi 1131 Bedford TK Machinery Carrier. In very close to mint condition and notably complete with both wing mirrors, including the little reflective ‘mirror’ pieces. Very fine lustre. Black detachable rear axle and moveable ramps. Cast wheels. As-new tyres. Bright metal parts. Lovely example, complete with both spare tyres. Couple of negligible marks only.
Polystyrene insert is fresh and bright – in pristine condition!
A more unusual find in the* window box*. Such crisp, clean and bright card! Barely handled. Period price label at an end flap. Smooth original cellophane has a very small piece missing.
This example comes complete with the often missing Instruction Leaflet.
