D274
Dinky 274 Mini Minor Van 'Joseph Mason Paints', promotional item. From an ex-employee of the Mason Paints firm with very scarce large promotional leaflet! Mint/boxed. From The Monty Calme Collection.
Notes
Just 650 of the Mason Paint promotional vans were issued between 1969-70, but only a handful have this large promotional leaflet (only given out to some of the employees at the time!). Usually given out with a small card leaflet. A rare find indeed.
The Mini Van has a vibrant all original deep maroon finish with perfect labels on both doors and on the roof.
The maroon card box is complete, clean and bright with no grubbiness or graffiti. Small thumb tear at one end flap. Barley any of the usual white edge rubbing which can spoil the appearance of this promotional box. Nice to see that this example comes with the little card packing ring which fits over the roof sign, too.
An extremely rare find!
