Notes
Very rare to come to the market place, this is one of a very small range of Gift Sets sold through the FAO Schwarz toy shops in the U.S. This particular example is a 3-part set which has survived in a close to pristine state and comprises:
1) Corgi 503 Circus Giraffe Transporter with Giraffes. Unopened box. Contents assumed mint and complete with packing.
2) Corgi 1130 Circus Horse Transporter with Horses. Unopened box. Contents assumed mint and complete with packing.
3) Corgi Gift Set 19 Chipperfields Land-Rover with Elephant and Cage on Trailer. Unopened box. Contents assumed mint and complete with packing.
The most important component of this set is, of course, this striking FAO Schwarz box! Strongly-coloured in deep turquoise with a very lightly patterned cream base. Tiny wear only. Complete clean and bright strip label at one short end of the lid.CORCUS SET F.A.O.S. 3 in blue print on a white label. Nearby, you will see the remains of the original FAO Schwarz New York Price Label.
The lid has lost none of its colour vibrancy and looks as if it has been rarely handled and carefully stored.
Note the lightly-patterned cream base has light staining from the application of the original glue.
No tears, splits or repairs.
Included is the original small card packing piece and card packing tray.
