definitely a top item Mint in original package .
have a few original Man from Uncle original packages at home for the 60s clothing line, but never actually came accross any of the jumpers / sweaters that were suppose to be inside .
closest i've seen is a blow up of a picture that came in one of the original press / campaign books .
same with most of the original sixties bond shirts, clothes, shoes, ... never seen a pair of Bally shoes ....
i think my best find was an original shirt box back in the mid eighties on top of pile of clothes at the flea market in Brussels (i still remember it , since i started to collect from that day .. it was BF 20 , the equivalent of 50 euro cents nowadays) .

Unfortunately the UK is no longer the capital country of the World. And we made that bizaare rubbish for the people with a lesser degree of taste. And OH how the tables have turned
Don't know how rare this one is, a little different but it's lot cheaper, although again in the US.

and at the time of posting, just over 8 hours left.
that's really generous of you .:)
and to top that story, even received as a present the shirt that goes inside (well that was 20 years later)
the pillow itself, is a fairly common item (well not as common as an original corgi aston martin) and turns up regulary on ebay and various other online shops specialised in vintage toys and colectibles . with a little bit of patience one will turn up cheaper .
as mentioned before finding it inside or together with the original package is mission impossible .

There is another line of bedding with similar artwork but a more "60s autumnal" (if that makes sense) color scheme which seems harder to find. I have a throw pillow that I think I bought on eBay made (judging by the fabric) from what surely must have been drapes. I've seen the comforter from that line on occasion (including the 2001 Christie's sale), but the prices have been pretty outlandish.
and adding now a factory sealed one to the collection as well , so there must a few around .
anybody heard from a warehouse find or a box ?
