Notes
Issued between 1954-57, this truck has a red cab and chassis, greyish-brown or earth back, grooved red Supertoy hubs. Fine lustre to the original paint finish throughout – it gives the impression of being completely untouched, remaining in its box for decades. 20 mph label in place.
Noteworthy that there are no touch-ins to this model, either.
So many Fodens and commercial trucks from this period do not stand the test of close inspection – this one is happily free of any touch-ins.
Virtually mint condition. An outstanding Foden model!
Note that the box still has its ‘LF’ (lead free) sticker at a lid end. The vibrant blue base has very little of the expected shelf wear or scuffing. Strongly-coloured box has light wear and a period penned dollar price. Comes complete with the original little packing card piece which fits behind the cab.
Rustiness at the box staples.
Dinky stamp side the box lid dates this example from 1957.
