Notes
This blue and white Commer Van has a bright mid-blue interior, and shaped spun wheels. As-new Corgi tyres with ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed. Suspension is fine. Note that this version has a grey tripod. Complete with intact ‘Samuelson Film Service Limited’ paper label on both sides of the van. Includes the little black plastic opening equipment case, 3 position cameraman and his rotating camera.
In virtually mint condition.
The header card picture box is bright with vivid colours. Crisp. Light crease and a very small end flap seam tear. The large header card has a very light crease at the reverse where it meets the box (usually a heavier crease is found at this point). Header card stands straight (quite often these large header cards can flop forwards, but not this one). The original cellophane window is still in place but has a significant tear. Small hole in the cellophane besides.
The colourful card inner is bright, clean and crisp. Little edge ruffle to the additional card piece where it has come into contact with the edge of the van.
Small card packing piece present too.
