Notes
This fine two-piece Gift Set from Corgi is always popular with collectors. This example is in all original and unused condition comprising:
a) Corgi 1128 Priestman Cub Shovel. In close to mint condition with a few little marks. Intact original black rubber tracks (typical ‘stickiness’ that develops overtime on the tracks). Perfect ‘Priestman Cub’ transfer at the side and rear of the vehicle. Mechanism for raising and lowering the jib works well. Cab containing driver is glazed. Number plate at the rear.
b) Corgi 1131 Bedford TK Machinery Carrier. In very close to mint condition and complete with both wing mirrors although only one of the little reflective ‘mirror’ pieces now. Very fine lustre. Black detachable rear axle and moveable ramps. Spun shaped hubs. As-new tyres. Bright metal parts. Lovely example, complete with both spare tyres.
Box base is made of polystyrene and is fresh and bright with light blue Corgi Toys lettering. Light residue from contact with the rubber tracks.
The colourful pictorial lid is strongly-coloured and intact,with no graffiti or tears. A few little stains and light wear.
This example comes complete with the often missing Instruction Leaflet.
Year of issue 1963.
