Dinky Toys 504 Foden 14-Ton Tanker

Notes

A lifelong collector, Denis Tyler now passes the baton to the next generation of collectors.
With proceeds from the sale of his collection going to the charities that he loved.

So scarce – and a first for QDT! This 2nd Type version, made during 1952 only. Two-tone blue paint finish (note that the tanker is a slightly deeper blue shade than the 1st issue – correct). No flash and original grey radial tyres (occasional very light flat spot).

Hard to find the merest mark – painstaking scrutiny finds some subtle retouches that are so difficult to see.
This tanker comes complete with its clean, fresh and bright blue box with a vivid and complete paper label. Correct 2nd type model pictured. Shows minimal handling and certainly no splits, although a little rusty around the staples.
