HERE’S ONE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR
VERY UNIQUE! ONLY SIX LEFT! 😊
CORGI 1929 McDOUGALL'S FLOUR THORNYCROFT VANS with almost "CONSECUTIVE" CERTIFICATE (FLEET) NUMBERS.

The Models.
ALL MODELS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
The Boxes. (see photos)
4007 Good condition
4008 Tatty Clear plastic split as is usual with these models
4009 Good condition but Clear plastic split
4010 VERY Good condition
4012 Very good condition apart from Clear plastic split at front
4014 VERY Good condition. Probably the best box
I started collecting these approximately 15 years ago to display in their boxes as a backdrop to my wife's McDougall's Flour Kitchen collection (Flour Tin, Tea Caddy, Mustard Pot, and Rolling Pin (still got my blood on it!)), which she displayed in a cabinet the kitchen.
I also displayed them in their boxes as a backdrop to my "CENTURY OF CARS" and my "CLASSIC TRUCKS AND VANS" collection, which I have also listed, Please check my other listings.
They remained on display until 2014 when we downsized and there was no room to display them in our new bungalow, so they were kept in a clean dry cupboard in the built in wardrobes in the bedroom.
I bought these individually from different sellers over the years and I only discovered that I had these consecutive numbers a few days ago when I was cataloguing them up to sell. That's when I also discovered I had 39 of them, see last picture. What are the chances of getting 4 consecutive numbers in a row and two very close? What a fluke!
The photos speak for themselves regarding the condition.
If I had have been "slightly less than honest" (which I think is a legal term for being a lying git!) I could have found my six best models and boxes and put the certificates in them, as I can't see anything on the model or the box to relate to the certificate number. However I have been too honest for my own good and when I received each model I would take them out of the box to check them and write the certificate number on the box.
Well at least I know I've done the right thing.
