French Dinky Toys 551 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith
Rolls Royce Silver Wraith by French Dinky Toys, No. 551. Very, very near mint/boxed. Scarce. From The Catania Collection.
Notes
The scarce version of the more familiar English Dinky 150. Actually, this French issue was made using the English casting, although assembled in France and of course what distinguishes it from its more common cousin, is the baseplate stamp ‘Assemble en France’.
Gleaming two-tone grey finish with bright chromed bumpers. Complete bonnet emblem too.
Couple of tiny over-rider chrome rubs.
The plain yellow card box is complete and bright. Minor wear.
