D942
Dinky 942 Foden 14-Ton Tanker 'REGENT'. Near mint plus/boxed. From 1955. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
This fine Dinky model presents well with a lustrous, vibrant and has very few marks at all to the paint finish.
Little chip to the corner back edge of the cab and occasional tiny mark besides. Note that there is a flick of paint at one edge of the white stripe.
REGENT lettering is complete on both sides and this example is happily free from the usual rub rubbing. The rear transfer is perfect too! Exceptionally well presented throughout with an undented tank and a shiny black intact ladder.
Condition belies its 59 or so years.
The striped Supertoys box impresses with day-one bright colours on clean, close to perfect card. Rusty staples and minor age wear besides.
Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this particular example October 1955.
