Notes
This classic Dinky Foden Lorry has a 2nd type red cab and chassis, deep fawn back, grooved red Supertoy hubs, large painted hook. With tanker slits to the underside. Fine lustre to the paint finish throughout:
Upon minute inspection, we found one very small touch-in. Little casting mark on the roof. Fine lustre throughout with vibrant day-one colours show that this item has been carefully handled and stored.
Original black radial tyres are well-shaped generally ( couple of very slight flat spots).
The striped DINKY SUPERTOYS box is brightly-coloured and complete. Little age/handling wear. Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this particular example from 1956.
