Notes
Issued between 1956-62, this delightful helicopter with twin tinplate rotors is finished in original turquoise, with a red stripe and blades, and complete silver detailing including the ‘windows’ on both sides.
Couple of very minor marks as well as a little rub to one of the letters on the sides. Wheels have largely lost their bright finish now and there is a little felt pen numbering on the underside of the helicopter.
The picture box is bright and complete, with a little wear and tear at end flaps. A little pen writing on one box face.
The first we have had for sale in ages!
