Benbros Mighty Midget Scarce traveller's sample box This Toy sample box belonged to a travelling salesman who’s job was to travel around the country generating orders for Benbros Mighty Midget toys from shopkeepers. It had been stored away in an attic for decades prior to its recent discovery.I think it dates from the late 1950s during the latter period of Benbros Mighty Midget toy production. Most of the road vehicles have black plastic wheels and several of the lorries have the scarce big Bedford S-type cabs. These include the Compressor Truck, breakdown lorry (white) and Covered wagon (red). Other than some paint cracking/flaking on a couple of the lorries (breakdown truck & comressor) they are in very good condition, still carefully stitched to the base card of the sample box with cotton thread.Rarities include the ERF tanker with Esso logo and black plastic wheels, the Big Bedford Dunlop van, articulated Bedford tanker with metal wheels, Foden chain lorry with black plastic wheels and the Cheverolet Nomad with silver side flashes.How many of these traveller’s sample boxes have survived?The box is in reasonable condition with some wear and tear to the edges through age and usage. There is one small hole where the lid has been pressed down on to the tractor drivers head at some stage. Postage = £7.50 UK Recorded inside strong
