C474
Corgi 474 Musical Wall's Ice Cream Van. Near mint plus/boxed. With WORKING CHIMES. Card stand, unapplied sticker sheet, Instructions and wrap-around card. Lovely box! From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
One of the most eagerly sought-after Corgi models, especially with fully working chimes!
The Ford Thames Van has a shining blue and cream finish with colourful awning and decorative trimmings, sliding windows and notably when you turn the handle the chimes play a tune (5 notes). Bright plated fittings and complete ’Wall’s’ transfers on both sides.
Note the windows are rather ‘misted’ now (common fault). Barely a mark to the paint finish.
Full sheet of the original unapplied labels and Instructions Corgi Club Membership Form is incorporated) are still present.
Nice to see that this example comes with the colourful card stand (minor wear), and the wrap-around card packing piece, too.
The decorative card box is a very fine example indeed; complete, clean, crisp and bright. Tiny corner crumple.
A truly nostalgic piece!
