N186
Nicky/Dinky Toys 186 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE. Emerald Green version. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce. From The Eric Slager Collection.
Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A close to mint example finished in emerald green ( original finish is uneven, but as-made) with original silver details, off-white interior,steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Silver and black plastic one-piece tyres/wheels.
a A few light rubs on the roof. Shiny black base.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is a fine example (for this range). Colourful, clean and crisp – and free of the usual ‘white edges’ or heavy tears that plague these comparatively flimsy boxes. Just one little tear at a small end flap seam.
