Dinky 274 Mini Minor Van 'Joseph Mason Paints', promotional item. Very near mint /boxed ( a little edge rubbing). With promotional leaflet and packing ring. With additional large colour Promotional BOOKLET. Scarce model from The Inverness Collection.
Notes
Just 650 of the Mason Paint promotional vans were issued between 1969-70 but only a handful have this large promotional leaflet (only given out to some of the employees at the time!).
The Mini Van has a vibrant all original deep maroon finish with intact Joseph Mason Paints labels on both sides and a complete ‘Paints’ label on the roof sign.
Lovely original lustre, obviously a cherished item that has rarely seen the light of day. Occasional tiny mark.
The maroon card box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured with no grubbiness or graffiti.
A little of the usual edge rubbing easily occurs during normal handling of this box. No tears.A crease on one surface.
The promotional booklet is included along with the original light blue packing ring which fits over the roof sign.
