Citroen Breakdown Truck 'DINKY SERVICE' by French Dinky Toys, No. 35A. With CONCAVE wheels & treaded tyres. Scarce. Very near mint/boxed. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
Fine and gleaming example of this nicely finished Citroen Breakdown vehicle, later re-numbered to 582. A lustrous, original finish throughout, with complete ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides. Harder to find version with concave wheels. Bright winding handle (including the cuff), axle ends and baseplate. Spare wheel stowed behind the cab. Well-shaped tyres with a fine tread.
Very close to mint condition.
The early issue pictorial box is bright and compete with quite a crisp feel. Very small handling tear on an end flap edge and a part-thickness thumb tear to an internal end flap edge.
