D252
Dinky 252 Refuse Wagon. Orange & grey - scarce transition issue with green TINPLATE SHUTTERS & SILVER RADIATOR & HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. Green cast wheels. Very near mint/boxed, with card packing ring. From a collector in Northampton.
Notes
This rare transition issue is finished in a vibrant and all original orange and pale grey with green tinplate shutters, bright silver radiator and headlight assembly, green cast wheels, glossy black baseplate, window glazing.
In close to perfect condition and looking like old shop stock, with barely a mark. Bright shiny winding handle works well.
Usually, this model is found with green plastic shutters, silver radiator and headlight assembly and red plastic wheels (still a difficult find!).
The later (paler) yellow card picture box is clean, complete and vividly-coloured. Small puncture on one picture face has pressed back into place. Light wear besides. Original card packing ring is included.
