An interesting cardback came to light on Facebook yesterday. A Clipper front with Meccano sticker - rare but nothing wrong with that, but it has a Toltoys back
If anyone has a Clipper die cast do check the back. This one has a few red flags. Peeling litho and could be an old repair by someone with a collection of rare backs. The way the punches line up and the lack of premium paid for it I'm leaning towards believing it's legit.
