Notes
Issued during 1955 under this dual-numbering (Dinky stamp inside the lid), this classic Dinky truck has a red cab and chassis, greyish-brown or earth back, grooved red Supertoy hubs. A fine lustre to the paint finish. Bright baseplate too:
Little marking to the tow hook and close inspection finds a few wheel arch touch-ins. Vibrant day-one colours show that this item has been carefully handled and stored.
The striped, dual-numbered Dinky Toys box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured. Minor age wear only.
What a super item on display!
