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 He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days.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.

This is such a beautiful example of this fine Dinky model – a lustrous gleaming paint finish in deep maroon with a tan tin canopy and dark red wheels.

Rarely out of its box, this would be a hard one to beat! One small mark on the cab above the radiator (looks more like a small paint miss) and a couple of very light marks on the tilt and front bumper. A few pinprick marks at the wheel arches and one small mark at the rear. Barely detracts. Bright fresh baseplate, shiny axles and as-new, original tyres.
A real display piece.
The box has not fared so well however. All end flaps are intact and it has the correct colour spot at both ends.

Some handling wear, and staining at one side.
All in all, this Dinky Truck positively glows – rarely seen in this fine condition.
