Corgi 1139 Chipperfield's Menagerie

Notes

A colourful Chipperfields item first issued in 1968.
It contains a Scammell truck with three decorative plastic cages containing two lions, two tigers and two bears. This example has a bright red and blue paint finish, jewelled headlights and Chipperfields label at cab front. Highly detailed decorative labels on both sides are very near mint – mint.
The plastic cages are complete and intact with all animals enclosed inside (no plastic bubbles surrounding them). Original Corgi sticky pads used to keep them in place. Nice to see this example still has the black elastic bands which fasten the cages to the trailer (often missing!).

Very close to mint, glossy original paint finish.
Bright and clean polystyrene inner. Note that when removed from the box and the underside inspected, one will see that the original owner has written his name in crayon.
The large window box has strong colours, particularly attractive colourful scene on box reverse. Original cellophane is in place (small corner tear).
Some age/handling wear to the card (a few little stress tears).
