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 He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days.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

A charming Dinky truck in a vivid deep cherry red and mid-blue paint finish with mid-blue diecast ridged hubs. Issued between 1954-64 in various colour finishes.
Beautiful and lustrous unblemished finish throughout. Two negligible pin pricks away from perfect (you have to really scrutinise to find them!). This model looks as if it has just been plucked off the toy shop shelf circa 1962.

The red and yellow card box is clean with vivid colours and all end flaps intact. Correct colour spot at the end flaps too.

A couple of little crumples and some ruffling at one end flap. Shopkeeper’s price at an end flap.
