C1123
Corgi 1123 Chipperfield's Circus Animal Cage. Polar Bears. 2nd issue with plastic sliding doors. Near mint/boxed, with unapplied transfer and printed Corgi Note.
Notes
A fresh, original example – this issue has plastic blue sliding doors at both ends (feature of later issues) and in the middle. Shaped spun hubs and supple original tyres are as-new. Comes with the unapplied “POLAR BEARS” transfer. Both original bears present. One of the amber skylights has minor surface marks but certainly no cracks or splits in either.
In near mint condition with the occasional small mark and discolouration to two of the three blue plastic sliding doors.
It comes with a printed note from Corgi explaining that all cages are being packed with polar bears at present!
Lift-off lid picture box is complete and brightly coloured. No splits or repairs. Clean. No graffiti. Minimal wear and a small scuff at one side of the lid. Couple of small stains nearby.
