1955 Tootsietoys Chevrolet Corvette Factory Sealed
These two factory sealed die cast Tootsietoy cars are the last of a multiple toy lot from the Donald Kaufman collection (founder of KB Toys). They were sold at auction by Bertoia Auctions and come with their original hang tag. Chevrolet Corvette Police Set Two door teal colored body with cream colored roof and silver painted highlights. Rubber tires. Still attached to original pink die cut card. Police Set includes silver painted die cast metal revolver and plastic "Special Police" number 711 badge. I doubt that it's a coincidence that it also happens to be "Dragnet's" Sgt. Joe Friday's badge number. Set of Corvette, gun, and badge are fixed to original card and factory sealed in original bag.
