Dinky Toys 430 Breakdown Lorry
Breakdown Lorry by Dinky Toys, No. 430. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce late issue in red and grey with blue plastic hubs. From The 25 Year Collection in California.
Notes
With a red cab and chassis, light grey back with blue “DINKY SERVICE” lettering, window glazing, blue plastic hubs – this is a scarce version.
Complete, original and in working condition. Colour of truck is vibrant throughout. Few minor marks to the paint finish and a little front bumper chip, too. Bright baseplate, with the centre line a little rubbed now, probably as a result of enthusiastic polishing. As-new original black knobbly tyres. Shiny winding handle including the cuff. Complete ‘Dinky Service’ lettering on both sides.
The bright and clean correct later yellow box presents well. No tears or repairs and the colours are vivid.
Bright staples and no graffiti. Period price label and a little blue rubbing on the lid in one small area.
