Notes
Issued 1948-52, this is a scarce British heavyweight Foden Platform Lorry finished in grey, black and red. Beautifully constructed, this was part of a small range of diecast constructional models made between 1948-52 by this British manufacturer. This Foden model measures 32cms x 9.5cms. approx.
Complete with spare wheel stowed underneath. Virtually complete delicate ‘Shackleton’ transfer.
Occasional little mark to the paint finish and a scratch on the roof.
Especially difficult to find with its distinctive sturdy colourful card box. Rubs/wear at edges particularly. More wear to the box underside which has damp staining, puncture and wear.
Original key included. Also, a set of 9 wooden barrels which are not contemporary but look quite pleasing stowed on the flatbed when on display.
