C1
Corgi/SolidoCord 1929 in Solido-style Prototype Box. Pictured on page 410 of The Great Book of Corgi. Another unique item from The New European Collection.
Notes
An exceptional collection of prototypes were purchased by ?The New European? Collector, largely originating from two well-documented sources i.e. the auction of the property of Marcel Van Cleemput at Sotheby?s Auction House in 1999 and the Losch Auction House in Germany during 2000.
This Solido model housed in this prototype box is pictured on page 410 of The Great Book of Corgi.
“This box evolved from an exercise carried out some time back, when we considered making a bid for Solido. It was our intention to pack ‘Our’ Solido range as shown”. Marcel Van Cleemput (1981).
A little wear on this ‘mock-up’ and note that the cellophane has a puncture/tear.
