Dinky Supertoys 501 Foden Diesel Wagon
Foden Diesel 8-Wheel Wagon by Dinky Toys, No. 501. Scarce gloss brown issue. 1st type. Very near mint/boxed. From The Off-shore Collection.
Notes
This classic early Foden truck has such a fine rich brown finish, with a silver flash and black chassis, black original herringbone tyres (well-shaped). Correct that this early issue has no tow hook.
Presents very well indeed. Issued between 1947-48. This high profile classic Dinky impresses with its rich brown glossy colour.
Base is complete with spare wheel affixed.
Very close to mint.
In notably all original condition.
Factory casting mark below the windscreen and a few small marks to the finish
The early buff box is brightly-coloured with a complete paper label. Minor wear only. Part correct colour spot at a short lid end.
These early Foden models are becoming increasingly hard to find.
