Dinky Toys 405 Universal Jeep
Universal Jeep by Dinky Toys, No. 405. Rare issue in red, with SILVER CAST wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From The 25 Year Collection in California.
Notes
This is a particularly difficult version to find. Finished in vivid red, this Universal Jeep model has silver cast wheels (not shaped spun), a fine black tinplate screen, black metal steering wheel.
Day-one bright colours and a glossy finish!
Gloss baseplate. Well-shaped original treaded tyres.
Minor tarnishing to the tow hook and a tiny mark or two to the paint. Close scrutiny finds a few little retouches at the top edge of the seats.
The correct lighter yellow card box is complete with a very crisp feel. Correct colour spot. Minor age wear includes light surface grubbiness. One set of end flaps are particularly reluctant to open. Very fresh feel.
Rare to come to the market place.
