This precious early Dinky Gift Set was issued 1937-41 and is a particularly difficult find.

6) 34b Royal Mail Van. Earliest issue in red and black with open rear windows. Smooth black hubs. Some scattered chipping commensurate with the age a minor crazing line and smooth white tyres (a little age wear).
Deep yellow insert presents well with strong colours on fresh-looking card.
