Notes
A landmark Corgi Collection covering the width and breadth of Corgi models amassed over decades by an exuberant collector. The Monty Calme collection is a truly astonishing gathering of the best of Corgi models and ephemera, including rare and unique pieces and point of sale items. The largest collection we have ever seen.
Issued between 1958-68, this fine Gift Set was a late issue, having a light brown and cream finish and a plastic tilt on the Land-Rover. Shaped spun wheels with suspension. Bright red detailed interior. The Land-Rover is in very close to mint condition (couple of tiny marks at the rear).
The Horse Trailer in matching finish has a stray dab of factory silver at a raised detail.
Lovely original lustre on both pieces.
Nice to see this set still has the original brown plastic pony, complete wit the little packing piece.
The *card plinth on which the models sit, is complete and bright (tear at a wheel slot). Little tear on the underside too. Otherwise, looking extremely bright, clean and very fresh.
The outer card pictorial end flap box is a very fine and well-cared for example with day-one bright colours on fresh, tear-free card. Tiny wear only.
With original card packing piece Corgi Club Membership Form and little Informative Slip from Corgi.
Very nice!
