Dinky Toys 980 Horse Van
Horse Van by Dinky Toys, No. 980. Very near mint/boxed. With MAROON wheels. Scarce U.S. issue. From Boris's Collection.
Notes
This fine and scarce model is cast in aluminium and has the complete wording “EXPRESS HORSE VAN” on both sides and “EXPRESS” above the cab windows. Virtually complete – complete ’HIRE SERVICE on both sides. Just the occasional negligible mark to the paint finish. The original maroon paint has a fine lustrous finish, showing that this model has been carefully stored and rarely handled. More difficult find with maroon wheels (more usually red wheels).
The correctly labelled “HORSE VAN” box is complete and bright, with no splits. No graffiti or punctures. Light age/handling wear. Rusty staples. No packing.
Dinky stamp inside the box lid.
