Dinky Toys 986 Mighty Antar Low Loader with Propeller
Mighty Antar Low Loader with Propeller by Dinky Toys, No. 986. Very near mint/boxed, with all packing pieces, card ring & Quality Control Tag. Scarce issue with window glazing and 'Scimitar' label on propellor. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
In gleaming and complete condition with a red prime mover (no sunfading here!), pale grey trailer and window glazing. Non-demountable. Complete with the original bronze-coloured plastic propeller with ‘Scimitar’ label and fixing cord on the brown plastic pallet. An impressive model on display, with a wonderfully glossy finish.
Occasional small mark to the paint finish.
Minute inspection finds a couple of small touch-ins. Hard to fault otherwise.
The striped Supertoys box with large italicised DINKY SUPERTOYS print is bright and complete, with no seam splits. Light wear. With green colour spot on end flap (so lead-free paint).
Original light blue lower packing piece is present, along with the top card piece, small buff card packing piece and blue card packing ring. With Dinky Quality Control Tag, too.
This scarce version with windows was made toward the end of the run (1959-61).
