1970s ARCO Metalware 36 pce Little Red Riding Hood Children's Tea Set NIB #4001

Description

Vintage 1970s or 80s Arco #4001 36 pce Mtalware Little Red Riding Hood CHildren's Toy Tea Set - never removed from original box.
Dishes are nearly - mint as they are still sealed in plastic in their original box, although it looks as though a little dirt has gotten inside the plastic and on the edges of some dishes.  Otherwise they look to be perfect in full color.  Plates, cups, tray sugar and creamer are metal with plastic handles and detail, and plastic pitcher and utensils. Plates are 3" in diameter, cups are 1.5", pitcher is 2.75" tall.
Vox is in good shape but does have water stains, light creasing, and dried tape as pictured.  There are a couple of small tears at some corner. Box measures 16" x 11" x 1.75."
This belonged to a collector who recently passed away
.
Please see pics closely for all details. I am sure the right collector can clean it up and will give it a good home once again!
I ship via Priority Mail from a smoke-free, one-dog home.
I try to accurately describe all flaws, but if
you purchase and find I have omitted something important from the details that I was unaware of, please just let me know!
