Notes
A real delight, these colourfully factory hand-painted figures are virtually mint, with all original parts intact, and all painting original too! Still with original string, so never removed. They comprise:
3a Woman with child
3b Businessman with briefcase & umbrella
3c Male Hiker
3d Female Hiker with stick
3e Newsboy with grey tray
3f Woman with red coat and blue luggage.
Yellow card backdrop is intact and clean.
Deep green lift-off lid card box has a complete paper label. Very nice, fresh and deeply-coloured – hard to find this good.
Box base underside dates this particular example March 1952.
