Occasional minor mark to the paint finish.
The rare theme continues with this plain yellow end flap style box with Dinky Toys and informative print in red on all sides. Light age/handling wear. Colours are vibrant, card is crisp and intact A little storage grubbiness. No graffiti unless you count the lightly pencilled shopkeeper’s period price on an end flap.
