Notes
Issued during 1940, this Normandie Steamship has survived well barely looking as if it has out of its attractively illustrated card box. Both red masts in place. In all original very close to mint condition.
Vivid blue card inner has a little edge ruffling/wear caused by model movement. Note this is the slightly later version with ‘250 varieties’ printed and lettering Dinky Toys No.52C.
Bright and complete blue card box has a virtually complete colourfully illustrated picture label. Light wear.
