Dinky 442
Dinky 30PB/442 Petrol Tanker 'ESSO'. Near mint plus/boxed. Version with DARK BLUE LETTERING. Scarce 1954 model from The BST Collection.
Notes
This is a delightful classic Dinky Tanker finished in unfaded red with deep blue lettering and border ( later issue would have lighter blue lettering and border).
A fine display piece with a shining lustre and crisp lettering. Occasional tiny nick mostly to the deep blue border (visible if you peer closely).
Unrubbed silver roof details. Chip on the roof and two or three smaller marks besides.
The box is complete and strongly coloured. A little age/handling wear includes a couple of very small seam tears.
