As visible in the picture the box is unfortunaly missing one outer flap and that that ripped flap caused some damage to the beautiful front picture. All other flaps are there and firmly attached to the box. No tape! The rear side had suffered some water damage and was stabilized by an professional paper restaurator ( full documention is available in german on request ). The box is now firm and crisp and ready for the display. It comes with the follwing models: 1B, 2B, 3A, 4B, 5B, 6A, 7A and 8A. These are the correct models & variations ( all still fitted with metal wheels ) in their correct "B2" boxes. The models are excellent to near mint, none is perfect but they all displayble. The boxes are all at least excellent, most are near mint. All boxes are complere with all flaps attached, no tape, no grafitti. These could be upgraded of course at a later time. So here's your chance to get your hands on some real Matchbox history, the very first giftset ever produced of which about a handful is known exist. Far from mint condition but then this might be the only one you will ever see.
