Notes
Made between 1954-60, this classic Dinky model was first issued as 14a back in 1948. Nothing really changed except its number – with its simple lines and familiar pale brown Dinky figure, it is equally at home in a railway or Dinky model ‘scene’.
Model is stamped 14A on the baseplate, so an early re-numbering.Hard to find a mark, other than slight rubbing to the textured surface of the bed. Original tyres run well.
The pictorial card box has vivid colours, with a crisp feel to the card. Complete. Minor handling grubbinessNice t see the original packing piece is included – buff and deep blue.
