Maker / Origin
The LEGO Group, founded by Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932, evolved from a small Danish carpentry shop into the world's most valuable toy brand.
Condition & Value
The model appears structurally complete and well-assembled. There is some visible dust in the crevices, which is common for display pieces; a gentle cleaning with compressed air or a soft brush would improve its presentation.
