GENERAL INFO

The first ever caravan in the RW range, the 23A Berkeley Cavalier Caravan, appeared in 1956. Only B1 boxes in size 3 are known to exist for this model. They both show the caravan in a large drawing, however the first box shows the model a bit higher with model away from scroll, while the second box has the model a bit lower, with numbers closer to the scroll.

RARITY

None of the boxes seem to be harder to find than the other. Being an early model, they are quite difficult to acquire in very good condition.
