Notes
This collection represents a lifelong deep appreciation of Dinky Toys, Britains models, Minic models and more primarily from the 1940’s & 50’s. All British made diecast and tinplate models. Proceeds going to charities close to his heart.
Originally sold through Christie’s Auction House in 2005 as part of the Philip Dean collection.
A most unusual find, this is the 1935 issue Mobile Police Car, finished in a deep gloss green and black with shiny black wheels, cast windscreen, radiator and headlight assembly. Smooth tyres are well-shaped and run easily, black seating. Note the tiny repair to the rear bumper (easily overlooked).
Very near mint paint finish. Two Police Officers (seated), one with arm raised.
Sturdy brown lift-off lidded box presents well bearing in mind the age. Complete paper label. No tears, repairs or graffiti.
