    It was found minus the globe but in fair to good condition. 20221007_144503.jpg 20221007_144526.jpg 20221011_131339.jpg 20221011_131232.jpg 20221011_133042.jpg IMG-20221007-WA0012.jpeg

    It has just the right amount of "patina of age" Looks great and seems to be running well too.

    Very nice example. Congratulations on a good find.

    Most of the ones from 1955 and 1956 have a red coloured label, but I have seen one other with a black label. Does yours look like it was originally black, or could the red colour have changed over time?

    They won't come in such great shape that often.
    What a lucky find.
