D234
Dinky 234 Ferrari Racing Car. Very near mint/boxed (wear but complete). Scarce 'shark nose' version with yellow plastic wheels in correct late box. With FAO Schwarz New York period label. The East Netherlands Collection.
Notes
A sought-after racing car from Dinky -this is the later “shark nose” version (yellow triangle at the front) which was issued for just one year only in 1964. Yellow plastic wheels. In very close to mint condition, this model displays superbly with a wonderfully vibrant and lustrous original finish. Very bright baseplate. Gives the impression of unsold old shop stock.
Note the thin fleck of additional transfer near the R.N.5 on one side near the rear wheel. Couple of negligible stray black flicks of paint on the nose of the vehicle.The correct for this late issue red and yellow box is complete with a crisp feel. Grubby now, with minor wear and tear at some end flaps. Few creases. No punctures. F.A.O. Schwarz New York period price label on the top surface.
