Summary
A large cardboard box for a 'Palitoy' Millennium Falcon, Han Solo's ship from the original 'Star Wars' films (1980). The spaceship is on display and is recorded as inventory number - 667369. The box has a large colour photograph of a boy playing with the spaceship and action figures on the top and the bottom. Four additional photographs are repeated on the sides. The box opens at one end. It is suitable for children aged 5 and above. Catalogue number 33364. The action figures were not originally included. Inside the box are assembly instructions on an A4 sheet of paper folded into three. There is also a piece of clear plastic, presumably original packaging for some item contained within. In addition, part of the Millennium Falcon spaceship was found inside the box, a small piece of grey plastic with grooves inscribed. This is a false floor. There is also a small black plastic toy handgun. Total number of items is 5.
