Notes
Issued between 1952-53, this model has a bright and original deep blue and yellow finish with ‘steps’ at the side of the base. Shiny, steel winding handle cuffs & harder to find with the deep blue platform.
Barely a mark to the paint finish. Really as fine an example as you will find.
The striped ‘SUPERTOYS’ box has a little age/handling wear. ‘LF’ label at a lid end.
Packing card piece (tear) included, as well as the Quality Control Tag.
