Dinky 261 Telephone Service Van. Very near mint/boxed. From The Heart of England collection.
Notes
Issued between 1955-61, this desirable Dinky toy is in very close to mint, original condition. ‘POST OFFICE TELEPHONES’ lettering is perfect on both sides, as is the delicate crest transfer on both sides. Deep, rich lustre to the paint finish shows that this van has been carefully handled. Bright silver ladder and matte black roof. Just a couple of little marks at a wheel arch and a some tarnishing on the baseplate.
The box is complete, vividly-coloured and has a crisp feel. No tears at end flaps or graffiti. Small top surface tear.
