Notes
An impressive military Gift Set made between 1957-65. This set comprises:
1) Dinky 660 Mighty Antar Tank Transporter is in authentic condition – obviously unused and rarely handled, this model has a fine sheen to the matt military green finish. Early issue without window glazing. Bright axles and metal fittings. There are a few near-inevitable marks (e.g. where metal meets metal at the ramps, for instance). Such a difficult item to find absolutely mint!
Base:
2) Dinky 651 Centurion Tank has a pleasing sheen to the matte military green finish. Bright baseplate, and smooth supple tracks.
Base:
Of course, both items turn up regularly enough individually – but rarely as a Gift Set.
The cream card insert with backdrop is intact and bright with no wear at the wheel slots.
A very pleasing backdrop for both military pieces and adding to the desirability and value of this set.
The large striped Supertoys box is bright and clean showing a little wear and some childish (but light) scribble.
