D965
Dinky 965 Euclid Rear Dump Truck. Near mint/boxed. Scarce with window glazing. In U.S. export box. From The European Collection.
Notes
This is the slightly later issue – made between 1961-69 with window glazing and a red-backed ‘Euclid’ logo at the sides. Such a fine Supertoy from Dinky’s heyday; surely every child from the mid 50’s-60’s remembers it well! Very difficult to find absolutely mint. The truck has a lovely bright yellow paint finish, perfect “Euclid” lettering, logo, and wording on both sides.
A few incidental marks underneath caused by the operation of the tipping mechanism and of course only visible when the tipping section is raised. Few mere dots besides. Few additional strokes of well-matched paint visible upon close inspection. Mechanism for raising and lowering the tipper works well. Bright winding handle, including the cuff. Bright axles including the ends. As-new original tyres.
The striped Supertoys box is bright, fresh and clean. Minor age wear. Box base is vibrant, unfaded blue with barely any wear at all! Penned period price at one lid end. U.S. export Hudson Dobson label on the box .
