This example is in very close to perfect condition with just the occasional mere dot. Pleasing lustrous paint finish. Shiny baseplate. Well-shaped clean white original treaded tyres.
The lighter yellow picture box impresses with vivid colours on crisp, undamaged card. . Correct blue in the print colour spot at an end flap. Dinky ‘light grey’ applied colour spot at the other! Period pencilled prices at an ed flap.
