Notes
Issued between 1969-70, this is a scarce set in stunning, all original condition. Monty tells us that he purchased it in Chicago from an old collector whose family were involved in the circus. The set was stored away from new.
It comes with the the still-sealed accessory packet which contains the full complement of animals and sheet of decorative labels.
Presents very well indeed:
The GMC Truck & Trailer has a bright, fresh original paint finish with clean and complete fresh labels.Virtually mint condition throughout – tempted to call this Gift Set mint!
Clean and complete yellow plinth continues the shop-fresh appeal with vivid colours and no wheel slot tears.
The large card box is complete and has fared better than most we have seen. Nearly always found with heavy wear, this outer box has a small handling tear to the always vulnerable tuck-in section of one large end flap. Very light wear besides. Colours are strong, card is clean and fresh throughout.
Unused and giving the impression of having been taken out of its box just once or twice ever. This set comes complete with the large, clean and crisp card packing piece in bright yellow, and even the little polystyrene chunk which fits between the two items on the plinth.
A sought-after, two-part set – don’t let this one go!
