Notes
Issued between 1948-52, this 1st type Foden has a vivid red cab and chassis, fawn back and silver flash. Red ridged wheels.
Presents well.
Fine tread radial tyres. Tanker slits. Large painted hook and spare wheel stowed, 20 mph label.
A few raised casting dots on the roof and barely any marking besides. Closest scrutiny found a few very subtle touch-ins.
The early buff box with a paper label is brightly-coloured and study. Shiny staples. Couple of small seam splits to the lid. A nick to the top edge of the paper label and light wear besides. Period pencilled price.
Dinky Quality Control stamp on the box base underside.
