Few small areas of ‘bloomed’ paint on the bed. Few small touch-ins besides.
The mid- blue picture box shows the first type cab variation. Complete bright paper label. Minor wear and note a small area of surface paper loss on a short lid end. Period stamp on the box lid dates this example from Christmas, 1951!
