I bought it from a collector some years ago.

Yes, it is a very long time for a LEGO-set. I was 2 years old when it was
made :-)
For all I know this one could be the last sealed one left.
> Secondly, I'd expect it to have shelfwaer and so...
This set has its original shelfwear. Maybe I must "sharpen" my english..
Isn't cellophane the same word as shelfware in US ?
Anyway. The first Lego sets often had cellophane/shelfware on the inner box,
where the brics were. Nowdays you can often lift/flip the cover to see (and
be tempted). In old days you instead could slide the outher box to the
side, and look "inside" trough the cellophane/shelfwaer.
My #111 has its cellophane/shelfware (on the inner box) as originally!
The outher box looks old, but nobody has ever touched the bricks behind the
sealing ;-)
Best regards
