Notes
1st type issue, made between 1948-52. Such a shining two-tone blue paint finish with a light blue flash and fine tread radial tyres (tiniest flat spot to one). Presents so well retaining a fine lustre to the vibrant two-tone finish:
Well-shaped tinplate tank.
Occasional minor marking to the paint (back of roof and some wheel arches).
The vibrant green card picture box has a complete red and white paper label and factory stamp ‘B’ for blue at a short lid end. Minor wear.
