Notes
This Fire Engine model is presented in a colourfully illustrated box with a dramatic fire rescue scene depicted.
Vivid red and silver finish, grey interior, red painted concave wheels on this Berliet model. Untarnished ladders. Well-shaped original tyres and bright metal winding handle and cuffs.
Displays well.
Minute mark on the roof support where the ladder rests (often found with more marks than this). Minute scrutiny finds a couple of dot retouches, that you have to hunt for.
The colourfully illustrated card box is strongly-coloured and clean, with the French Dinky Factory Control Stamp on the inside of the box lid. Colours are day-one bright throughout including the box base. Traces of the old tape which kept the lid closed, and a very small area of surface loss due to the removal of a price label at some time (easily overlooked).
Inside you will find the card packing insert (couple of little repaired tears):
