Notes
What a treat! This is a never-opened Pack of 6 x Hovell’s/ Corgi Juniors Christmas Crackers, still held beneath the fragile original shrink-wrap sleeve. Vivid intact card box measures approx. 30cms x 30cms.
Issued early 1970’s.
Each cracker holds one of the Corgi Juniors “Emergency Vehicles” along with a hat and a motto and a snap (hopefully still working when the cracker is pulled).
Complete Corgi Juniors label as well as the Hovell’s/Corgi Juniors label at a lid side.
Reverse image – game of Snakes & Ladders – anyone?:
Stored carefully for all these years, the Christmas Crackers are completely untouched beneath the shrink-wrap. Minor fading in places to the red crepe paper of the crackers.
We are thrilled to bring this rare survivor to the market-place. We wonder if we will ever see another!
Try as we might, we can find no reference to another C52 Corgi Christmas Cracker Set ever having come to the market-place!
