Nicky 051
Nicky 051 Mercedes-Benz Taxi. Very, very near mint/boxed, with 2 packing pieces. From a long-standing collector in Germany.
Notes
Sought-after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
This Mercedes model is black with a yellow roof and a complete ‘Taxi’ sign on the roof, original silver trim and a complete bonnet emblem. One piece silver and black plastic wheels/tyres. Product number faintly visible on base.
In virtually mint condition!
The box is complete and brightly-coloured and has fared better than most . Minor wear only. No particular=r card packing pieces were ever made for Nicky models – if any were used it would simply be sections of Nicky boxes! In this case, we are fortunate to find that there are 2 still present with this model.
Unusual item.
