Occasioanl little mark (probably factory assembly, and very minor). Notably there is just one tiny split to one of the red plastic pieces (so often, all suffer from splitting).
The pictorial box is clean and bright generally ( a little fading to the box base underside not covered by the lid). Tarnishing to the staples. Small area of surface loss to the lid ( probably due to the removal of a price label) Included are 3 original card packing pieces.

‘Meccano Controle’ stamp on the inside of the box lid.
