C1144
Corgi 1144 Chipperfield's Circus Scammell Crane with Rhino Cage. Very near mint/boxed (wear). From The Cheshire Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1969-72, this set comprises a Scammell Handyman MKIII in blue and red finish with a silver jib and hook as well as a rhinoceros in a plastic cage.
A fine, unused example – which has barely been handled. Complete “Come to the Circus” label correctly on one side only. Couple of minor marks only to the paint finish.
Rhino and cage are in unused condition with the little stiffer cellophane packing piece still in place.
Fragile, white plastic inner is complete, although it has a split (as is so often the case).
The outer box has bright colours generally ( although note that one end flap is rather sunfaded now). Cellophane has been replaced at some time. Rather grubby. Corgi Club Membership Form.
