Notes
A desirable Gift Set and a difficult find in any condition, this fine nostalgic set comprises:
1) 260 Royal Mail Van in stunning virtually mint condition! Unused model with Royal Mail lettering and crest at both sides. Exceptional lustre to the original paint finish.
Bright baseplate too. Just a couple of barely visible, micro dots to the lettering on one side.
2) 261 Post Office Telephones Van in very near mint condition. A beauty with a deep original shining paint finish. Complete lettering and crest on both sides. Minor tarnishing in one small area on the baseplate. Couple of tiny marks to the green paint finish.
3) 750 Telphone Box in very near mint condition with a gleaming red and silver paint finish. One little scuff on the roof.
4) 011 Messenger & 012 Postman are in virtually mint condition with vibrant original colours.
Attractive card outer box is complete and bright with no corner splits.
Old tape residue at the sides and where this has been taken off, there is some resultant surface loss. Surface paper tear at one short end of the lid has been glued back into place carefully.
No graffiti.
Pictorial insert is complete and clean. Little wear and tear at a couple of the slots.
A popular Gift Set that is becoming harder to find these days.
