Notes
What a find! Serious Dinky collectors will notice that this is the familiar Dumper Truck but some were issued for the French market.
Assembled in the UK and then exported to France.
Note the French Dinky box (not multi-lingual), so solely intended for the French Market.
This early issue model has a fresh, deep yellow paint finish and comes complete with the familiar driver in his pale brown workman’s garb. The usual contact chips where the tipping section rests. Barely a mark besides – this is a fine and glossy finish. A nicely-constructed toy; the driver can be made to swivel with his seat, and the dumper tips. Tow hook and red painted hubs. Tarnish-free baseplate.
The attractive deep blue box with complete paper label is intact and bright with barely any wear. Distinctly different to the UK version. Note the DINKY SUPERTOYS lettering for instance – and stating the obvious, all the print is in French only, including ‘features panel’ at short lid ends.
Nice to see the original sturdy card packing is still present too.
One of the best surviving examples.
