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.
Made between 1952-54, this is the 2nd type cab version with no flash at cab sides. In violet blue finish with a paler blue back and matching hubs. Presents very nicely with an exceptionally fresh and gleaming paint finish, and even under minute scrutiny, no touch-ins are found.
Well-shaped, grey radial tyres and Supertoy hubs. Bright clean baseplate and metal parts generally including the axle ends.
An honest example, so no surprise that there are a few little marks at wheel arches. One little mark at a rear corner edge of the roof and a little mark at the tow hook.
Bright fresh deep blue box with a complete and vivid paper label.
Showing minor handling wear. Note the shopkeeper was most insistent that this was a 902 model. Probably a 1954 issue ? the year when the 502 model was re-numbered 902. Export issue ? note the bright ?Hudson Dobson? label at one lid side. Minor scuff to this label.
A difficult find, especially in this condition.
