Notes

This is the slightly later issue – made between 1961-69 with window glazing and a red-backed ‘Euclid’ logo at the sides. Such a fine Supertoy from Dinky’s heyday; surely every child from the mid 50’s-60’s remembers it well! Very difficult to find absolutely mint, and so many are found with touch-ins – thankfully not so, in this case. The truck has an all-original lemon paint finish, perfect “Euclid” lettering, logo, and wording on both sides.
Note too that the front and rear wheels both have the grooved detail – as assembled in the factory – but more often found with the smooth side showing on the front wheels.

There are just a few little marks at exposed edges.
Of course, there are the unavoidable marks underneath caused by the operation of the tipping mechanism. Mechanism for raising and lowering the tipper works well.

Correct that this later issue would have a metal winding arm and a plastic cuff.
The unusual pictorial end flap box is complete with all end flaps present. Correct that this late issue should have this style of box. Usual wear at end flaps and corners, but thankfully no punctures caused by the winding handle.
