Dinky 945
Dinky 945 A.E.C. Fuel Tanker ESSO. Very near mint/boxed. End flap box. Scarce with black gantry and manhole covers. White interior and metal hubcap wheels. Version WITHOUT 'Tiger' label. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
In complete, clean and fresh condition, and a more difficult find with a white interior, tinplate hub caps, bright jewelled headlights, both hosepipes, black gantry and all six black manhole covers intact.
Version without ‘Tiger’ label at the rear of the tank.
Esso paper labels are bright and complete. Corner crease to one. Light wear.
Close inspection finds a small retouch at a wheel arch.
The attractive end flap picture box is a more unusual find and generally more desirable than the later bubble pack issues. Bright intact card, with minor handling wear including a tiny tear and a couple of very small end flap scuffs.
