Very near mint.

Vivid yellow Dinky trade Box is clean. Tear to the shaped section on one long lid side has had a tape repair at some time. Remains of the original tape which kept the lid closed too. Tape applied at a lid corner seam. Small area of surface loss. Scuffs/storage wear besides. Period penned price on the lid. Nice to see the original dividers present!
