Notes
Scarce early issue finished in red and that includes the metal (not plastic) sliding doors. Correct that this early issue would have flat spun wheels. Intact tow hook, drawbar, and amber roof glass.
Complete (applied) polar bear transfer.
Upon close inspection, you will see a few tiny marks at some exposed edges and a few very small dabs of additional red paint.
Nice to see that this example includes the packing card piece and both polar bears.
Lift-off lid pictorial box has a few small scuffs – but no graffiti or repairs.
