Notes
Issued between 1935-41, this scarce set comprises:
1) 43A RAC Box, tinplate lithographed item which presents well. Couple of very small areas of pitting at base edges. Minor marking besides.
2) 43b RAC Motorcycle Patrol, in blue & black with silver details and well-shaped white rubber tyres. Driver with red sash. Very minor crazing/fatigue in a couple of places and light wear to the paint finish. Discoloured patch on arm.
3) 43C RAC Traffic Guide, Bright colours. Very nice!
4) 43d RAC Guide saluting. Condition belies its age – hard to find this good.
Each item may be slotted into the pictorial card stand. Fine condition with unfaded colours. A few little stains. One of the best we have seen.
Blue lift-off lid box has strong colours on clean, sound card. A little wear commensurate with age. Initials (we assume) penned on inside of lid.
A hard set to find in any condition.You may like
