Three plastic umbrellas. These are notably the originals – so often they can go astray, particularly bearing in mind how small they are and how they were never stored in a packet but merely slotted into holes on the plinth. So many that we see have (pretty decent) replacements but they do lack the fine detailing of the originals. These originals have the furling details to the ‘rolled-up’ cloth part of the umbrella and delicate details on the handle, fine point at the base. Little details perhaps but really nice to see!

Inner card plinth is bright with vivid illustrations. Small tear at a wheel slot and light wear.

The colourful card outer box is complete and bright.
Some tape residue in places and minor age wear. Period penned price on one box face. Couple of small end flap tears. A little age/handling wear besides. Corgi Club Membership Form.

Card packing piece too.
