Aurora 1/8 Silver Knight of Augsburg 1560 'Valiant Warriors' - Crown Issue, K1-98 plastic model kit

1/8 K1-98 Aurora Silver Knight of Augsburg 1560 'Valiant Warriors' - Crown Issue

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

In the mid 1950s, Crown Plastics advertised the release of a series of Knight models - some of the very first figure kits. However, before Crown entered production, Aurora marketed the line for Crown in 1956. The copyright on the instructions is 'Crown Plastics, Inc Princeton, New Jersey'. These were the first Aurora Knights ever issued and Aurora gave them the kit numbers K1-98, K2-98 and K3-98. These were the very first Aurora figure kits. The knights sold well, and Aurora bought the three 'Knight' molds from Crown Plastics within the year. This is the very first Aurora Knight kit ever issued - K1-98. Please note the early Aurora 'Northern Lights' logo has the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. Inside, the plastic parts are mint. The kit has never been started. The shiny, silver plastic parts are complete and include the silver base. The instructions are correct with the Crown logo in the Aurora logo. The yellow plume has disintegrated and all that is left is a small yellow section.
