D513
Dinky 513 Guy Flat Truck. Near mint plus/boxed. First type in two tone green, with ridged wheels. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
This early commercial Dinky Truck was made between 1948-52. Fresh first type dark green cab and chassis, mid green back, ridged hubs. In original condition throughout, and rarely out of its box! Displays well.
Well-shaped smooth original tyres, bolt fixing, large hook.
A little paint loss at one wheel arch rim and a few little marks ( nearly all confined to wheel arches and typical for this model).
The early buff card box is complete, clean and bright, presenting well and showing little wear. Note the correct early colour code ‘G’ at one lid end. Staples are rather rusty now.
