Notes
Typically, the last item to be added to any Corgi military collection – the rare U.S issue in the plain stamped box! Made during 1963 and ‘Special Order’ only. It did not re-appear until January 1965 when it was re-numbered 357. Only 17000 were ever made.
This example has a deep military green finish with a lemon interior, intact aerial. Shaped spun hubs with suspension. U.S. Army stars on bonnet and both doors.
Little mark at the side of one of the roof ribs (probably as-made).
The plain blue and yellow box has stamped details on end flaps as shown. Minor wear includes a little tea/coffee staining at an end flap. Remains of an original price label on the top surface and a period dollar price label at an end flap.
A very difficult item to find in this box presentation.
