Only minor evidence of fatigue and only 1 ship has started to split and bow. On the two largest ships one has all its gun barrels broken, the other has 4 gun barrels broken. Mostly the wire masts seem to all be present. Box is generally very good for the age but some minor water staining, one end of box is becoming detached around the edge of the paper label on the end of the box and there is a small tear in the side of the base of box. None of the ships have identification marks on them other than Dinky Toys Meccano so it is difficult to tell if these are the correct ships and in the correct quantity. Ships need restringing and assigning to correct position on backing card.
