It is unlikely that you will find one like this for sale now or indeed for a long time to come as they pop up only very rarely at Auction and on Listings here. So take your chance as no reserve and keenly priced! The item is as good as the photos depict with the white 1930's rubber wheels still in excellent non-perished condition apart from the usual and expected minor foxing (brown);the metal work and decals are bright and shiny,hardly any dings or playwear,UNLIKE the Box ...well,what can you say? Whilst it is intact with just part of one end flap missing and the condition of the board and colours is actually quite excellent, the problem is that the quality of the board is quite flimsy and for it to have lasted this long shows the care taken by it's owner.A few small pices of light sellotape in place !! Length is 10". Small surface corrosion on underside of cart lid as shown. The Built-in clockwork mechanism is fine .The cart lid is slightly loose but this is such a rare opportunity to acquire a classic item that such is incidental . Be brave and be tempted ..do not miss out on this one !!
