Corgi Toys GS-47 Ford Super Major Tractor & Loopendeband op Trailer

In the 1960s, Corgi released a series of farming sets that were not only toys but also beautifully illustrated the mechanization of farming at the time. One of the most impressive sets was Corgi Toys Gift Set 47, consisting of a Ford Super Major Tractor with a treadmill trailer.

Introduced in 1960, the Ford Super Major was one of Ford's most successful tractors and was known for its power, reliability, and versatility. The model was used worldwide and became a familiar sight on farms in the 1960s. Corgi gave the miniature a realistic appearance, complete with a tow bar, rubber tires, and detailed sculpting.

The accompanying treadmill trailer was equipped with working rubber treadmills, allowing children to realistically recreate how grain, hay, or other loads were moved. This made the set not only an attractive toy but also an educational model that brought farm life to life.

This example is in very good condition. One of the rubber treadmills has been glued on in the past, but this does not affect its functionality. Remarkably, the set comes complete with its original display box. The cardboard display itself is in good condition, while the box is in reasonable condition, a welcome bonus considering its age of over 50 years.

The Corgi Toys GS-47 Ford Super Major Tractor & Treadmill on Trailer is now a rare and coveted collector's item, perfectly reflecting the charm of rural life and the quality of Corgi's toy production in the 1960s.
