ILLUMINATED SIGN MECCANO DINKY-TOYS
Extremely rare piece of POS from 1957
As Meccano wrote to its retailers in 1957, this imposing illuminated interior sign was intended "to stop passers-by and draw their attention to the articles placed underneath it, which it illuminates thanks to its ingenious system".
It was supplied at the price of 6,500 old francs "carriage and packing paid".
That is to say approximately 135 € today.
63 cm long, 18 cm high and 9 cm deep, it is equipped with a fluorescent tube hidden inside, and with chains on each side to hang it up.
In perfect condition, works.
Delivered in a plywood box specially made to protect it.
