Notes

Issued during 1969 with a black-faced Golly, this is the second issue where the colour was changed to a lighter grey colour, in response to racial concerns. Later still, the Golly would have a pink or light tan face and then eventually be replaced with the uncontroversial Mr.Tubby!
This example is in very close to perfect condition. A most attractive item, with all three figures of Noddy, Big Ears and Golly crammed into a bright red and yellow ‘cartoon’ car with balloon tyres!

Paintwork is vivid and in tip-top condition. The chrome however has picked up a few little rubs at exposed edges over the years, mostly due to box contact.
The colourful window box is dated 1969 on the reverse. The bright crisp pictorial inner is in pristine condition – often the card gets damaged by Noddy’s bobble hat – happy to say that it is not the case here!
The outer box is bright and complete, with intact original cellophane (can often get punctured by Big Ears’ hat).
Minor rubbing at an end flap and a shopkeeper’s neatly pencilled price in the top corner of the box front.
