THE RAREST OF ALL SUBBUTEO RUGBY ITEMS AND ONE OF THE RAREST SUBBUTEO ITEMS EVER MADE. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SUBBUTEO RUGBY SHOP DISPLAY FROM AROUND 1971. THIS ITEM WAS NEVER AVAILABLE TO BUY AND WAS ONLY SENT OUT TO A VERY FEW OF THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT STOCKISTS OF SUBBUTEO. VERY FEW OF THESE WILL HAVE BEEN MADE AND EVEN FEWER WILL HAVE SURVIVED IN THIS CONDITION. WE HAVE ONLY EVER SEE 2 OF THESE DISPLAYS (BOTH OF WHICH WE HAVE OWNED). THIS ITEM WOULD HAVE ORIGINALLY BEEN DISPLAYED SOMEWHERE IN THE SHOP SO THE CUSTOMER COULD SEE AT A GLANCE THE TEAMS AND ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE. THERE ARE 30 SLOTS (15 ON EACH SIDE) WITH NUMBERS 1 TO 26 PLUS THE REFEREE AND 2 LINESMEN. IN THE 30TH SLOT SUBBUTEO WOULD PUT ANYTHING JUST TO FILL IT - IN THIS DISPLAY THEY HAVE PUT ANOTHER REFERENCE 17 WAKEFIELD. THE DISPLAY HAS A FULL SET OF ORIGINAL NUMBERS UNDER EACH PLAYER FROM 1 TO 26 PLUS AN EXTRA ORIGINAL NUMBER 17 FOR THE 30TH SLOT IN THE DISPLAY. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISPLAY YOU HAVE SOME OF THE ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE: A RUGBY BASE, GOAL, BALL, TWO KICKERS AND THE SCRUM DEVICE. A TRULY SUPERB ITEM AND AN IMPORTANT PART OF ANY SUBBUTEO COLLECTION. THE CONTENTS ARE COMPLETE AND IN MINT CONDITION. THE DISPLAY CASE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALSO COMES WITH THE CLEAR PLASTIC LID WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION.
