Notes
The first Supertoys aircraft in spectacular, fresh condition, issued between 1947-49. The best example we have seen of this substantial aeroplane which has a gleaming bright, all original finish, complete with all four propellors and both delicate floats intact. An unused item and a rare find in this condition:
As fine an example as you will find, particularly bearing in mind both its age and scarcity. Upon close examination, one may see a small scratch through the letter ‘D’ and the most minor mark or two besides. An impressive item on display, especially alongside the card box which has such a fresh and bright paper label. The box comes complete with its packing piece which has definitely protected the delicate parts of this craft for the past sixty or so years.
Side paper label is clean and bright too with just a couple of small stains.
One corner of the lid has a little repair:
A wonderful addition to any Dinky collection – the first we have offered for sale in a long, long while! One of the best surviving examples we are sure.
