Dinky Toys 250 Streamlined Fire Engine
Streamlined Fire Engine by Dinky Toys, No. 250. Near mint plus/boxed (late issue). Treaded tyre version. From The Island Collection.
Notes
A classic Dinky toy which is hard to resist! Such a bright and shining original paint finish on this cherished toy.
Just a few little marks at some wheel arches. Still a great example with its bell and a shining bright silver ladder (none of the usual rubs!). A real little gem – and this late issue with treaded tyres was made towards the end of the production run (1954-62).
The late issue picture box is complete and bright.
Minor storage grubbiness/foxing.
One of our Dinky favourites, this Fire Engine epitomises Dinky models of this period.
