Notes
The owner tells us:
All of the models from The Smith Collection were bought by the same young boy on a weekly basis when they were released, and kept by the same collector unplayed with and in many cases never taken out of their boxes, right up until the present day. Rather unusual for a lad to buy toys and not play with them but he was a collector from a very young age!
This attractive Dinky commercial truck was issued in several different colour finishes – this particular version has an all original deep blue cab and chassis, mid-blue back with working, intact hinged tailboard, and matching grooved wheels.
Presents nicely:
Occasional little mark and a small thin paint miss at a top edge of the wagon back.)Original light grey tyres are well-shaped, save for one which has a light flat spot ( (spare is stowed). Stamped 418 on the base.
The striped Dinky Toys box is complete and brightly coloured with no splits, tears or repairs. Minor age wear. Original card packing piece is included.
