C107

Notes

A fine example of this early, more desirable issue (1967-70) Batboat with a tinplate fin. This is a very fine example with complete paper labels on both sides of the boat (very minor wear only),complete chrome dashboard, uncracked light blue screens, both seated figures of Batman and Robin and a beautifully detailed tinplate fin (later issues were plastic). Just one faint scratch is visible upon close examination. Bright gold trailer with detailed cast wheels.

Notably, this item comes complete with the
black towing hook accessory piece which could be used to attach it to the first issue Batmobile (issued without towhook). So easily lost!
The delightfully detailed card box has day-one bright atmospheric graphics – a work of art in itself. Crisp feel to the card and the colours have lost none of their vibrancy. End flaps are intact with no tears. No graffiti either. Very minor handling wear only and there is a trace of old sellotape at one end flap where the box was taped shut.
Corgi Club Membership Form is included. Operating Instructions are printed on on both box sides.
This 1st issue Batboat is always a desirable item and an absolute must-have piece in any Batman collection!
