Just a few minor marks to the paint finish.
The striped picture box is the more unusual dual numbered box, so marking the transition from 581 to 981 in 1954.
Clean and strongly-coloured , including the deep blue box base. A couple of little storage scuffs at one side. Traces of a label at a lid end. No graffiti.
