Corgi Toys 107 Batboat
Batboat by Corgi Toys, No. 107. Early 'tin fin' issue. Blue screens. Very near mint/boxed. From The Elmer Collection.
Notes
This is the first, more desirable issue (1967-70) Batboat with a tinplate fin (later issues had a plastic fin).
This particular version has blue screens. With bright and fresh complete paper labels on both sides, both seated figures of Batman and Robin and an attractive, beautifully detailed tinplate fin (later issues were plastic). Dashboard chrome has a couple of areas of ‘flaking’. Bright gold trailer with detailed cast wheels.
No black towing hook accessory piece with this example.
The card box with atmospheric graphics, is a work of art in itself!
Crisp, bright and fresh-looking. Light wear. Corgi Club Membership Form.
Note that this box issue is the version with the printed detail ‘National Periodical Publications inc. 1966’, no Spare Tyre information printed on an end flap and no ‘Colour of contents may differ…’
