Corgi Toys 474 Musical Walls' Ice Cream Van
Musical Wall's Ice Cream Van by Corgi Toys, No. 474. Near mint plus/boxed. Part working chimes. Card stand and wrap-around card.
Notes
One of the most eagerly sought-after Corgi models and such a nostalgic item.
The Ford Thames Van has a shining blue and cream finish with striped awning and decorative trimmings, sliding windows and when you turn the handle the chimes play (although please be aware that the tune is incomplete now – 3 of the 5 notes play when you turn the handle). Bright plated fittings and complete ’Wall’s’ transfers on both sides. Windows are ever so slightly ‘misty’ now (common fault – over time dust gets trapped and adhered to the interior surface of the windows. This example is better than most!). Decorative labels applied. Tiny wear besides.
Nice to see that this example comes with the complete and bright colourful card stand as well as the wrap-around card packing piece*.
The decorative card box is complete and quite bright with quite a crisp feel. Light wear only.
