All authentic items – this set is complete!
Inner polystyrene tray is intact, if a little grubby in places now. Unusually, this set has the top moulded piece of polystyrene too (clean and fresh).

Outer box with a charming and delightful full colour pictorial scene displays really well. A little of the expected age wear including a small ’speckled ’ area on the lid and a couple of small flecks of surface loss at two lid end caused by the removal of the old tape which kept the lid closed. Period pencilled price. The comparatively flimsy yellow card base into which the polystyrene base fits has a tear at three corners.

Scarce and so very difficult to find, this is a beautiful set. Notably different to the slightly earlier example to be found in our archive which is the version with a mid-green Land Rover, an earlier Tipping Trailer and Corgi 56 Four Furrow Plough. Minor moulding difference between the two polystyrene trays too – note the example in our archive has the two farmhands in separate sections bottom right, this slightly later version has just one section in this area.
