1 year only (1935) Consist of Black 265/265W & Blue/Silver 600,601,602 Passengers. Very scarce and tough set box to acquire! Box is very presentable! Split on 1 corner as seen in photos as well as box on bottom separates because corner is split. Fantastic label with all flaps. Very nice set box overall! Don’t miss out on an upgrade or chance to build that great set out! Send this box out to get professionally repaired. Will need factory tape seemed fixed. Again, all flaps are present and box is structurally square.
