Notes

Issued between 1948-52, this fresh and bright 1st type Foden has a vivid red cab and chassis, fawn back and silver flash. Such an attractive lustre to the paint finish!

Dinky supertoys 501 foden diesel wagon hh756 base

Fine tread radial tyres are well-shaped. Tanker slits. Large unpainted hook, spare wheel and shiny baseplate (minor ‘spidering’).
Upon closest inspection, one can a couple of very small wheel arch retouches (marks that routinely occur during factory assembly carefully retouched at some time). The cab on particular is outstanding with a virtually mint-mint paint finish.
The green card box with paper labels is completely and deeply-coloured showing light handling. Very minor wear.
An outstanding display piece.
