Five Gaiter - Commander

I looked at this piece twice at Sell It Here in Lafayette before picking him up. Just love the mold, and he is in such nice condition!

 Commander, #52, 1961 - 1986, $14, Sell It Here, Lafayette, IN, 10/2014

The flange is nipped (indicating a newer model as does the USA stamp by the Breyer stamp) but it is painted - unlike my other nipped tassle 5 Gaiters.

He is remarkable shape - someone must have had him in a collection and valued him. Now, he's been "rescued" and is in mine!
