D414
Dinky 414 Rear Tipping Wagon. Blue and grey version. Very near mint/boxed. Outstanding box! From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
A very fine example, the Rear Tipping Wagon was issued between 1954-64 in various colour finishes. This version has a mid-blue cab and chassis, pale grey back. With a most pleasing lustre to the paint finish, this truck has rarely been out of its crisp, virtually pristine box!
The most critical eye will find a tiny mark at a door and another on the roof. Metal parts (baseplate, axles ends) are day-one bright. Treaded tyres are well-shaped.
Lovely!
The crisp, complete, red and yellow non-picture box has the correct colour spot at the end flaps.Outstanding condition. Little period price at an end flap is penned.
A delightful example!
