Notes
This is a transition issue model, renumbered from 582 to 982 during 1955. The transporter has a light blue finish throughout, with fawn decks. 582 stamped on the trailer. “DINKY TOYS DELIVERY SERVICE” lettering on both sides and back – all in perfect/very near perfect condition. No window glazing version.
The cab has a few little chips on the wheel arches and a dot or two on the roof. Complete with a fine black grille and bumper with both headlights present. There are a few little chips/rubs at exposed edges/high points on the trailer, and the usual marks around the hinged ramp which are practically unavoidable. A nice all original example – and a familiar sight in most Dinky collections.
The transition box, however, is one of the most unusual box presentations for any Dinky commercial model. This is just the second we have offered for sale in some twenty+ years and we are sure that most collectors will be unfamiliar with this plain, deep blue, lift-off lid box with the Dinky label at one end:
The box has excellent strong colours and there are no splits. Paper label is complete and looks fresh and bright too. A little stain on the lid and minor rubbing at corners. A little writing on the paper label.
Some light marking to the inside of the box base as well as rusty staples.
An excellent find – when will you see another?
