Notes
Discovering old shop stock items is always a thrill – and this original full trade box of 6 x early Austin Cambridge Saloons makes a dazzling centre piece display!
Each item has been taken out of its individual box just two or three times we surmise, given that the boxes are crisp and this old shop stock box has been in storage for decades.
Close scrutiny reveals the occasional negligible (surely as-made) mark to some. One may find the occasional little rust spot on the base on some.
However, the colours and sheen on each model is outstanding, the boxes are extremely crisp and deeply-coloured showing minimal and careful handling (with the exception of one box which has a tear). Note that the shopkeeper has pencilled an individual price on them (three boxes have these prices partially rubbed off). However, all remained unsold at 2/9 and were soon placed back into the trade box.
Each individual box contains a promotional booklet and a pink Corgi Club Membership Form.
The Trade Box is sturdy with smooth crisp card. A small handling tear to the tuck-in section of the large end flap. Corgi printed details have minor rubbing.
