Corgi Toys 1144 Chipperfields Circus Crane TRuck & Rhino
Chipperfield's Circus Scammell Crane with Rhino Cage by Corgi Toys, No. 1144. Scarce version with 'STEPPED LORRY WHEELS'. Very near mint/boxed (replaced cellophane). From The Francis Schaffer Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1969-72. This impressive set comprises a Scammell Handyman MKIII in blue and red finish with a shiny silver jib and hook as well as a rhinoceros in a plastic cage. Original paint finish, complete paper labels. Harder to find with these stepped lorry wheels. Complete and bright “Come to the Circus” label correctly on one side only. Rhino within its plastic cage with grass/straw detail and clear packing piece.
In very close to mint condition.
These white plastic inners are nearly always found with splits – this example has a couple of the tiniest splits.
The outer box is bright and has a crisp feel to end flaps. New cellophane has been fitted at some time. Very light wear indeed.
