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.
Issued 1956-59, this early Corgi emergency van is in original condition, with a bright, lustrous red paint finish, flat spun wheels, complete ‘Fire Dept’ labels on both sides and the motorised function works perfectly.
Black base and fine, well-shaped treaded original tyres.
Under close scrutiny, you will spot a couple of dots at a wheel arch, a truly minuscule dot at a window edge and a very small light scratch at the front bumper. Presents well with completely unmarked transfers on both sides, a vibrant unfaded original paint finish and gleaming, unmarked original silver trim.
The correct early blue picture box is very crisp, complete with all end flaps intact. A little storage crumpling and a very minor puncture on one non-picture surface which has pressed back into place. Minor grubbiness in places and a small stain. No graffiti. Early Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
