Notes
A first for QDT!
This three-piece Gift Set comprises:
1) 152A Tank in gloss military green, with intact chain tracks and aerial. Marking to paint finish and turret has some fatigue but no parts missing.
2) 152B Reconnaissance Car, sound, with moderate paint chipping. Fatigue to smooth wheels only. Original smooth tyres run freely.
3)152C Austin 7 Car with fewer paint marks. Well-shaped one-piece black rubber wheels and tyres. Later driver.
Scenic backdrop with virtually intact – intact cut outs for models has survived extremely well. Note this export version does not have the drop-down front section (simpler construction).
Obviously this powder blue box has been well-stored, with condition belying its 80 years!
Note the red Export Label with ’For sale in United States by Meccano Company of America Inc.."
