Dinky 949
Dinky 949 Wayne School Bus. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce black line issue. Rarest box version with small illustrated panel. From The Cologne Collection.
Notes
A classic Dinky model from 1961-66 with a vibrant and original deep orange-yellow body with black body lines (more usual version has red body lines). Window glazing and red plastic hubs. Bright baseplate.
A few minor marks and a few little (assumed factory) retouches on the roof.
Such a rare find in this yellow picture box with small illustrated panel. Bright and clean with no seam repairs. Correct that the lower half of the box is yellow. Small area of surface loss to one short lid end and light wear besides.
