D715
Dinky 715 Bristol 173 Helicopter. Very near mint/boxed with card packing. From 'The New European Collection'.
Notes
Issued between 1956-62, this delightful helicopter with twin tinplate rotors is finished in original turquoise, with a red stripe and blades, and complete silver detailing including the ‘windows’ on both sides. Complete lettering too.
A really eye-catching item from Dinky:
One little exposed edge chip. Wheels have largely lost their bright finish now as you might expect, but still run easily.
The picture box is bright and complete, with no tears. Little price label residue and old price one one box face. Edge ruffle to one large end flap. Very minor age wear besides.
Original buff card packing piece fits around the helicopter snugly. No tears. Very nice!
The first we have had for sale in ages!
