The striking, card pictorial box with lift off lid is clean and strongly-coloured with no tears as you might expect at seams of lid or base. There is a small storage ‘partial puncture’ and residue from a couple of period price labels. Small area of surface loss. Minor wear besides. Base is a rich, unfaded blue with minimal shelf wear. Remains of old tape which kept the lid closed. Very small area of surface loss on the base underside.
Inside is the original, tear-free slotted card insert, complete with the decorative deep blue "DINKY TOYS’ label.
