D505
Dinky 505 Foden Flat Truck with Chains. Maroon 2nd type model. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce 1ST TYPE BOX. From a small 'single owner from new' collection.
Notes
A deep, lustrous, all original paint finish on this fine Dinky commercial truck made between 1952-54. This 2nd type model is in original condition with a deep maroon paint finish – an honest, early 2nd issue example that presents very well indeed.
Rarely handled.
Few tiny marks mostly confined to one side.
A few of the earliest 2nd type models were housed in the last remaining (rare) 1st type boxes. Note the 1st type radiator pictured on the box. Clean, bright and fresh, with hardly any wear at all!
