C1121
Corgi 1121 Chipperfield's Circus Crane Truck. Mint/boxed. Harder to find *Silver painted jib version*. Lovely unused item from the Italian colection!
Notes
A very clean, unused, fresh-looking circus crane truck issued during 1960-62, and part of the Major Pack range of Corgi models. A vibrant red lustrous paint finish with light blue “Chipperfields Circus” lettering on both sides, matching hubs and a silver-painted tinplate jib (harder to find) and hook. In perfect working condition, this model has no signs of corrosion or dulling to the finish. A wonderful display item from the Chipperfield’s range.
The raised blue lettering has a couple of the tiniest dots but it seem over-harsh to downgrade for that. Intact plastic tow hook. Bright and shiny cuff of the winding handle.
The lift-off lid pictorial card box is clean and bright. Some surface loss at one corner of the lid and minor rubbing/wear besides. Small corner split to the lid and a little puncture to one end of the box base.
