C1139
Corgi 1139 Chipperfield's Menagerie. Very near mint/boxed. Complete with all animals in their 'bubble' housing. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
A colourful Chipperfields item first issued in 1968.
It contains a Scammell truck with three plastic cages containing two lions, two tigers and two bears. This example has a bright red and blue paint finish, jewelled headlights and Chipperfields label at cab front. Highly detailed decorative labels on both sides have are very near mint.
The plastic cages are complete and intact with all animals still in their plastic ‘bubbles’. Nice to see this example still has the black elastic bands which fasten the cages to the trailer (often missing!).
Occasional tiny mark only.
Complete and clean polystyrene inner.
The large window box is bright and complete with intact original cellophane. Note the red marks due to prolonged contact with the model in storage.
Minor age/handling wear and a small tear at one end flap seam.
