Notes
Capturing a small moment in time, this scarce Dinky Gift Set gifted to ‘Skipper Tom The Sapper’ is dated Xmas 1939 and bears a period Christmas Label on one side. A poignant message perhaps at this difficult time, just after the outbreak of war.
This Passenger Train Set is in complete and authentic condition throughout:
1) 17A Locomotive, black and green. Near mint showing some storage dulling in places and a few little marks
2) 17B Tender, green, near mint plus
3) 20A & 20B Coaches, green & cream, near mint – near mint plus (minor marking and a little ‘blooming’ in places).
Attractively illustrated card inner holds each model in place. No loss of colour vibrancy. Minor wear caused by model movement.
The plain powder blue lift-off lid long box (harder to find), has light wear commensurate with age. Dated 11-38 (Dinky print on one long side of the lid).
A scarce and poignant set from the early Dinky period, this set is some 86 or so years old.
