Notes
Now here’s a Dinky model you don’t see too often!
Issued between 1954-55, this is a very scarce item and notable that it comes complete with all 10 little metal milk churns.
So prone to chipping at the raised edges of the sides of the truck, this example has a few chips only. Fine lettering on both sides. Such a wonderful sheen on this rare Nestle Truck which is in notable all original condition:
Shiny base and metal parts. Supple, well-shaped original tyres. This model has clearly been carefully handled and very well-stored. Condition belies its 60 or so years.
The distinctive deep red and yellow box has scarcely any of the usual wear at edges etc. and the colours are fresh and vibrant. Deep yellow card packing piece inside for the storage of all the little milk churn Only one red packing block now.
Complete, vivid yellow paper label at one end of the lid (correct). Note the ‘FRANCE’ stamp and the pencilled writing nearby
A wonderful find – and a highly unusual and decorative French Dinky classic commercial truck to add to your collection.
