Notes

An impressive and sought-after set from Corgi – this is the second issue from 1964 which includes the Giraffe Truck rather than the Booking Office. (Other minor differences too).
We are especially pleased to offer this set for sale – it is extremely difficult to find in this unused condition. The attractive, highly detailed pictorial scene card box is nearly always worn – this example is the nicest we have seen:

Only the most minor corner edge rubbing and minor age wear besides, including a little stain and slight mottling.
Lift off the lid and the original white card packing piece is still present – nearly always discarded, and a good indicator that this set has barely been handled:

The contents confirm this – such a lustrous vibrant paint finish:

All complete and authentic. The truck has some damp affected corrosion to the crane jib. Apart from this, all the items are in virtually mint, unused condition. Quite remarkable – what a find!
Complete with all original figures:
lion and lioness (with little bag), elephant, two polar bears (with little bag), mother and baby giraffe, unapplied transfers, two sets of Instructions (one for the cage, one for the crane truck), and of course, the Corgi Club Membership Form.

The polystyrene inner is complete, bright and intact with barely any wear at all.

A glorious set for Corgi and Chipperfield enthusiasts to enjoy! A premium piece for your collection.
