C53
Corgi 53 Massey Ferguson Tractor. Near mint/boxed. Rare issue. From a very fine private Cheshire collection.
Notes
Issued with variations between 1960-66, this is the scarce last issue, finished in bright red, with cream engine and rams, cream bucket with silver interior, silver steering wheel and seat, transfers on the main body of the tractor.
There are a few little marks/rubs at the sides of the main body of the tractor (hard to avoid when metal meets metal), and a couple on the top of the bonnet. Massey-Ferguson transfers are complete on both sides.
The pictorial box has such a crisp feel! Box colours have lost none of their vibrancy. The box looks very fresh and clean too. No tears. Scribble on one non-picture side. Tiny handling wear at an end flap edge.
