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 He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days.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

Scarce issue in original, virtually mint condition, complete with two horses. Perfect detailed transfers at both sides and front:

D979n324

Upon minute scrutiny, one may see a couple of tiny marks on the roof (negligible) and a micro-rub on the rear door handle. So tempted to grade this one as mint! This is a very hard model to find in any condition.
Striped Supertoys box is bright, fresh and clean with no splits. Just a couple of little scratches and very, very minor age grubbiness.

With a factory-fresh sheen throughout, this model is a rare find.
It may be a long time before we see another as fine!
