Corgi 1139
Corgi 1139 Chipperfield's Menagerie. Very, very near mint/boxed, with Retailer Card. Complete with all animals in their 'bubble' housing & unused sticky pads. From The Old School 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 intact Chipperfields label at cab front. Highly detailed decorative labels on both sides are very, very close to mint-mint (one has just a couple of the tiniest edge nibbles).
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!).
In virtually mint, obviously unused condition.
Complete and clean polystyrene inner.
Strip of original unused sticky pads and Corgi Club Membership Form.
The large window box is bright, fresh and complete with intact original cellophane.
Very light wear. Intact original cellophane window.
Nice to see that the Retailer Card is still present too.
