Notes

Every Dinky collector remembers these! A well-loved Dinky classic that will surely bring back happy memories. Re-numbered from 564 in 1954. This Elevator Loader has a bright yellow and mid blue finish with the original intact supple black rubber conveyor belt (so often these suffer over the years becoming brittle and breaking).
Occasional little edge chips as you might expect. Bright metal parts. Nice to see that this example comes with the detachable plate which fits at the end of the hopper (often missing). Fine sheen to the paint finish. Bright winding handle.

The large striped Supertoys box is bright and the staples are shiny. No graffiti. U.S export label at one lid side. Fleck of surface loss at a short lid end. Minor partial puncture to the deep blue base underside. Both upper and lower packing pieces are present, as well as two thinner card pieces which help to support this model in the box (tiny split to one). Complete with the additional* large card strip* and the little Dinky Quality Control Tag too. Rare to find so complete.

Typically these popular models cost a whopping 18/- at the time, significantly more than the Fodens etc. of the same era.
