CGS9
Corgi Gift Set 9 Massey Ferguson 165 Tractor with Shovel & Tipping Trailer with Detachable Raves. Very near mint/boxed. With packing piece. A scarce Gift Set from a large stunning collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
Issued between 1968-72, this is a scarce Gift Set in all original condition with lovely vibrant colours. The Massey Ferguson Tractor is complete with the original farmer figure; this set looks as if it has remained in the box for the past 40 plus years. Intact delicate transfers on one side of the tractor body, very nearly so on the other (a little top edge ‘nibbling’).
The occasional tiny dot may be found under closest inspection and there is some minor tarnishing to the scoop.
Trailer has a few minor edge marks. The detachable metal raves appear never to have been attached to the trailer, just a little dot to one.
Lovely vibrant colours throughout.
Colourfully illustrated card plinth is crisp and complete, looking ever so fresh.
Outer card box with illustrated farming scene is extremely crisp and fresh with vibrant colours on intact card. Gives the impression of unsold, old shop stock. Note the period shop price sticker.
Card packing piece is included along with the Corgi Club Membership Form.
