D301

Notes

A one owner from new collection of boxed Dinky models has just come in to stock.
This is a beautiful Dinky model, typically well constructed with simple lines. Issued between 1954-61, this is an early issue with a burnt orange finish, including the exhaust stack, silver metal wheels, tan driver, black steering wheel. Tow hook. So obviously unused, this model has just one small graze at a wheel arch (may be a factory oversight). Bright baseplate. A little sunfading at one side, although it is hard to imagine that this tractor has been out of its box, which is complete with the card packing piece. Details on the tractor are picked out in silver (all original).
A fine model on display.

The card box is a scarce issue bearing both 301 and 27N at the ends. It is bright and clean with minor ruffling at end flaps, and a small tear. A little creasing besides. Shopkeeper’s price of 4/4 is pencilled on one end.
