Dinky 563
Dinky 563 Heavy Tractor. Scarce version in blue. Very near mint/boxed, with packing and Dinky factory stamp'B' denoting colour of model. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1948-54, this classic Dinky model is a difficult find in blue.
Light blue rollers and original green rubber tracks notably intact and running freely.
Hard to find a mark to the paint finish, although note there are a few dots of retouching on the front bumper section. Base is shiny. This model comes with the familiar Dinky driver figure, busy at work ‘operating’ the levers.
The buff lift-off lid box has a complete paper label – note this is the ‘plainer’ version. Light wear/grubbiness. Note the ‘B’ stamped at a lid end – so correct for this version . Light age wear. Comes with the original card packing insert too!
