Corgi 1127
Corgi 1127 Simon Snorkel Fire Engine. Assumed mint/boxed. A more difficult find in the pictorial card and cellophane picture box. With leaflet. From The Old School Collection.
Notes
A popular Corgi model from the Major Packs Emergency Vehicle range of toys. The Simon Snorkel fire engine was made between 1964-74, with a Bedford cab, 6 firemen, water cannon, extending and rotating boom. This model presents very nicely with bright untarnished supports for the boom and a vivid lustre to the original paint finish.
Bright gold booms. Detailed cast wheels.
This card and cellophane picture box is a more difficult find certainly. Clean, strongly-coloured card with intact original cellophane window. No tears or repairs. Minor wear only. Complete polystyrene insert looks very fresh and clean.
Information/Instruction leaflet is included.
Box has been carefully prised open, but contents have not been removed since this action can often cause damage to the end flap seams. The card is resistant so doubt whether model has ever been removed.
Minor storage crumple.
