An all original early issue with complete, distinctive ‘SPRATTS’ lettering in the shape of a Scottie dog on both sides. Occasional little mark to the all original paint finish. Note the marking to a couple of the smaller letters on one side.
Shiny base and well-shaped tyres.

The deep blue card box with a paper label is deeply-coloured with a complete paper label. Minor grubbiness and very light wear.
