Notes
A classic sought-after Dinky Studebaker Tanker in glowing condition with a beautiful original paint finish.
Note the later style transfers and MOBIL lettering at the rear.
Fine, unblemished, unrubbed transfers at the sides and at the rear. How rare it is to find the silver domes unrubbed! Bright baseplate.
Just a few very minor marks and a couple of stray (factory) flicks of silver near a headlight and on the bonnet/ at the rear.
The box is verystrongly-coloured on crisp, rarely handled card. Scuff at an end flap at the period hand-written price.
Not an easy variation to find.
