Couple of small front bumper chips and a tiny mark or two besides. Well-shaped grey tyres (minus the yellowing which can often occur over time). The silver ladders presents well (often found with significant marking, Happily not so, in this case).
Note that this example has copper tension fixing which hold the ladders in place when extended – good design point!

undefined

With card packing piece too.

The early blue Dinky Toys box is a fitting partner with strong colours on bright fresh and intact card. No fading and that includes the portion at the sides not covered by the lid. Complete, clean and bright paper label too. Faint pen mark and a period price penned on a short lid end.
