D503
Dinky 503 Foden Flat Truck with Tailboard. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce 1st type version in violet blue and orange. From The European Collection.
Notes
This first type Foden has a violet blue cab and chassis, orange back and flash, paler blue ridged wheels. Such a fresh, shining paint finish on this early truck issued between 1948-52 only. Original shining silver detailing at the 1st type cab. Bright baseplate, axles and spare wheel fixing.
Hard to find a mark. Under minute scrutiny, you may see a stroke of well-matched paint at some wheel arches (really difficult to see).
The early blue, paper label box is clean and fresh-looking. No splits or tears. ONly the most minor wear.
Makes a fine display piece!
