Description: This model has full gold-painted trim including the maker's plate. According to the White Book, only the first copies of this model had the plate painted gold because it was too difficult to do, being right behind the chimney. Interestingly though the flywheel looks black whereas the White Book lists the first one as being brown. So perhaps this is even rarer! Unfortunately the roof has suffered some paint loss; otherwise the model is excellent. No box. Vintage Toy Disclaimer Toys sold by us are sold as vintage collectibles for adult collectors, and not as toys for children as they may not comply with current safety standards. For example, older toys can contain lead, or use lead paint. Combining Orders We are happy to combine orders to save shipping costs, but we can only do this if you add the items to your cart and then choose Request Invoice or message us. Once you have paid for an item it can no longer be combined. Photographs We use a high resolution macro lens for most of our photographs, and when viewed on the screen defects can appear that are not readily visible at normal viewing distance - comparable to viewing the model through a magnifying glass. Please bear that in mind. Condition Condition tends to be subjective - one person's 'near mint' can be another person's 'fair'. We do our best to list any defects that we are aware of, but the photographs should be your best indication of condition. Restorations We are not usually the original owners of the items we sell, and don't know their history. For that reason unless it is obvious we don't usually know whether an item has been restored, and cannot guarantee that it has not. Some restorations are very good. We do our best to provide good photographs so that potential buyers can make their own judgement. Shipping We ship within 5 business days as we try to limit our visits to the Post Office during the current health crisis. We pack very carefully. If you are overseas and using a forwarder, please be aware that we can only track as far as the original U.S. destination and our responsibility ends when it is delivered to that address.
