Notes

One of the most difficult and sought-after Corgi Gift Sets. This remarkable set is in unused and original condition, with Instructions, mat, glue, paints and paint brush. Hard to find with all these components!

Cgs25t1904

Paint case looks shop-fresh with none of the expected wear to the delicate plastic inner. Original little red paint brush is tucked in neatly at the back of the plastic inner. Glue tube is ‘unsqueezed’!
Mat was found folded, looked as if it had never been unfolded until now for this image ( and then only partly unfolded!).

Cgs25t1909

This is a completely unused set – boxes are so crisp, clean and fresh and feel as if they have been opened just once or twice in the past 49 or so years. It is worth noting too that each item is original to this set – with all boxes in this pristine condition and without tell-tale prices at end flaps or varying condition – which are signs of a later ‘made-up’ set.
This exciting set comprises:

Instruction Leaflet:

Cgs25t1906

Large sturdy outer box is an excellent, brightly-coloured example. Note that this is the earliest version with the rectangular colourful paper label set in the centre and a small label at a lid end. Later versions would have a slightly different paper label set to one side and a blue section ‘CORGI’.
Couple of small part-punctures and light age/storage wear. Paper label is a little grubby and could improve with very careful cleaning. No seam tears or repairs. Period shop label (Düsseldorf) and period price nearby at a lid end.

Finally, we would like again to stress the rarity of this set which is completely unused and authentic throughout.
A notable addition to any Corgi collection. A very difficult find indeed
