Notes

We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.

An essential item in your Dinky commercial collection, this Guy van was made during Dinky’s heyday and is part of the sought-after range of advertising vans made during mid-late 1950’s.
In virtually mint, all original condition throughout, this ‘Ever Ready’ model has a shining mid blue paint finish and perfect detailed transfers on one side and above the cab, very, very near perfect on the other side.

After careful scrutiny of the van, there is one little pinhead-sized scratch on the letter ‘T’ of one transfer and one or two tiny marks besides. Shiny baseplate. None of the usual chipping at rear opening doors.
The box is complete, vividly-coloured and with no splits.

A little age grubbiness and some rusting at the staples. A little minor handling wear besides.
A premium Dinky commercial truck to add to your collection.
