Listing description

Product description

Eye-catching mixed lot — three vintage Shirley Temple children’s paper booklets (Wee Willie Winkie; The Real Little Girl; Through the Day) presented with a FROG Shell-BP Coastal Tanker plastic scale model in its original illustrated box. Photos confirm colourful, collectible covers but clear wear: creases, edge scuffing, staining and at least one spine splitting on the booklets. The FROG box shows edge loss and paper damage; inside are hull halves, sprues, red hull deck parts and small paint pots. Instructions and decal sheet are not confirmed.

This lot suits collectors of vintage paper ephemera, Shirley Temple fans, and modellers who want a mostly-complete FROG tanker to restore, cannibalise for spare parts or finish. Use the booklets for display, framing or research; the model parts are good for restoration projects, display builds or spare parts for other FROG kits.
