Nicky 120

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.

This collector was lucky enough to purchase a small cache of these Indian Dinky models from a collector who had a contact in India.
1) ‘E’ Type Jaguar model is a particularly scarce find in vivid blue, with an intact detachable black hood, and detachable cream folded hood. Original windscreen is complete too.
An early issue – note the ‘proper’ wheels and tyres.
Very near mint.
Note too, the Dinky lettering on the baseplate is still partially visible with just the letters ‘DIN’ blanked out (so ‘KY’ and ‘TOYS’ still visible), as well as the original lettering ‘Jaguar ’E’ Type from Dinky. No reference to the Indian manufacturer made on the base of this early Nicky Toys model.
The box (to Nicky toys standard) is very nice indeed – complete, clean and with a crisp feel to the card. Lightest wear only.

2) Mark X Jaguar in bright mid-green, with early wheels. Very near mint. The box has a little of the usual wear and tear.

3) Mark X Jaguar in light non-metallic blue, with later 1-piece wheels and tyres. Very near mint. Box has a little more wear and note the small area of surface loss on one side ( partly inked in at some time ).

4) Jaguar 3.4 MK II in emerald green, with early wheels. ‘DINKY TOYS’ on base.Virtually mint, Box is fine, bright and complete with minor wear.

5) Jaguar 3.4 MK II in bright metallic blue. Very near mint. Excellent box showing light wear only.
