Minute mark on the roof support where the ladder rests (often found with more marks than this). Minute scrutiny finds a couple of dot retouches, that you have to hunt for.
The colourfully illustrated card box is strongly-coloured and clean, with the French Dinky Factory Control Stamp on the inside of the box lid. Colours are day-one bright throughout including the box base. Traces of the old tape which kept the lid closed, and a very small area of surface loss due to the removal of a price label at some time (easily overlooked).
Inside you will find the card packing insert (couple of little repaired tears):
