D305
Dinky 305 David Brown Tractor. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce early issue in red and yellow with RED EXHAUST. In very fresh detailed card picture box. From a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
This is the first issue made in red and yellow with a red cowl, a black engine and paper ‘David Brown 990’ labels. A difficut find especially with a red exhaust (more often found with a yellow exhaust). Fine, supple, original tyres.
One very minor mark on the pale lemon section and a few mnor marks at the rear metal wheels. Paper label radiator detail has a couple of light creases.
The correct, colourful, pictorial box looks like old shop stock. And so crisp!
