Hello,
there is a Corgi Classics shop counter display for local sales in Germany.
Its made of heavy cardboard, has three stages and landscape background.
(Seller expects pickup, no mailing)
Unfortunately, the picture available shows the display in unbuilt condition
and it is hard to imagine how it loos like in built condition.
Can anybody supply a picture or has a clue in which years it was in use
at retailers?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Wolfgang

If it was for the first 'Original' Corgi CLASSICS, it will have been in use from 1964-1970. I don't have a picture unless there is one in the 'Great book of Corgi'.

Hello,
don't think, its listed in the Great Book of Corgi - at least not in the first version.
Please have a look at the attached image.
Best regards

Thank's for the picture.

It is from the mid 1990's from the period when the Corgi brand name was once again in doubt as to whever it would servive. A new company was structured in the early 1990's called 'Corgi Classics Ltd' and I believe this display stand is from this company and has no connection to the original 1960's 'CLASSICS' range.

These are from the same period and would not look out of place on that display unit.
