In very close to mint condition.

Leaflet:

With period promotional items from the release of this model:
1) Meccano News Bulletin. Dated 24th July 1969. Couple of light creases.

2) Black & white Press Photo.

3) Promotional hanging card sign. Few issued on this sturdy card with brass rings enabling it to be suspended (large toys shops or indeed the toy shows at the time). More likely that toy shops would be issued with window paper flyers promotional items which would be cheaper to make and so much more numerous!
