D492
Dinky 492 Loudspeaker Van. Near mint plus/in early box (dual-numbered, & 492 in black oval). From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-57, this unused van has a rich violet blue original paint finish with a silver loudspeaker and light blue wheels. Extremely lustrous paint finish throughout and a very bright silver loudspeaker make this an extremely attractive Dinky classic.
Small, light hairline scratch on one side and a few little marks besides.
The unusual dual numbered box with the Dinky number in a black oval is complete and bright, with a very crisp feel. Plenty of end flap spring. Light wear and a small fleck of surface loss at the tuck-in part of one large end flap.
