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.
A very close to mint Standard Herald model finished in bright metallic blue, off-white interior, black steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Early issue with spun wheels and separate tyres with a fine tread.
Shiny black base with ‘DINKY TOYS’ lettering, Dinky product number 134 and details clearly visible. Indian Licensee details visible.
A few little marks to the paint finish only.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is complete and bright. Crisp feel. A little of the usual wear.
