Notes
A fascinating item from The Monty Calme Collection.
This metallic blue and white Commer Van has a bright mid-blue interior, and suspension on shiny spun wheels. As-new Corgi tyres with ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed. Complete with intact ‘Samuelson Film Service Limited’ paper labels on both sides. Includes the 3 position cameraman and his rotating camera.
Equipment case is still present.
Occasional little mark to the paint finish on this model.
The header card picture box is a pleasing example – bright and clean and happily free of the crease at header card reverse where it joins the main body of the box. Some ruffling on the bright orange card inner where it has come into contact with the edge of the van. Notable tear at one side of the orange card inner. The original cellophane window is intact.
Attractive and colourful illustrations on this most decorative of boxes!
Note the little slip of blue card packing too.
This item was originally sent out to a client in San Francisco from Samuelson Film Service Ltd. London, in 1967. The top half of this sturdy card box is present along with the majority of the original Customs Declaration. Note too the Compliment Slip!
