C405M
Corgi 405M Bedford Fire Tender. Very near mint/boxed, with Corgi promotional booklet. Scarce early mechanical item from 'The Monty Calme' Corgi Collection.
Notes
Issued 1956-59, this early Corgi emergency van is in very fine, original condition, with a bright, lustrous red paint finish, divided screen, flat spun wheels, complete ‘Fire Dept’ labels on both sides and the motorised function works perfectly.
Black base and fine, well-shaped treaded original tyres
Under close scrutiny, you will spot the occasional negligible mark only. Presents well with completely unmarked transfers on both sides, a vibrant unfaded original paint finish and gleaming, unmarked original silver trim.
The correct early blue picture box is clean, bright and crisp, complete with all end flaps intact. Only the most minor age/handling wear. Corgi promotional booklet incorporating a Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
