D480
Dinky 480 Bedford 10 CWT. Van 'KODAK'. Near mint/boxed. Lovely fresh box! From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
Issued between 1954-56, this ‘KODAK’ Bedford Van is in near mint, all original condition, with a bright, fresh paint finish. KODAK transfers and lettering are a little speckled/rubbed, but easily legible.
Shiny base (minor ‘spidering’). Well-shaped, original tyres.
A few little marks at a headlight surround and a small mark at the front bumper.
Very pleasing original lustre.
The pictorial card box is exceptionally vivid, clean and fresh. So crisp! No rubbing or tears. Surely opened a couple of times only in the past 55 or so years. Quite remarkable. Faint trace of a penciled period price at an end flap and a light crease at an end flap. .
