D414
Dinky 414 Rear Tipping Wagon. *Deep Blue and pale grey version, pale grey wheels*. Very, very near mint/boxed (repair). Scarce issue from the Italian collection.
Notes
A beautiful example issued between 1954-64 in various colour finishes. This scarce version has a distinctive deep blue cab and chassis, pale grey back and pale grey wheels. Smooth tyres. A darker shade to the usual mid-blue version and of course a more difficult find with light grey wheels. A fine lustre to the paint finish and a shiny baseplate.
Tempted to call this Dodge Wagon mint (just a minor near-microscopic dot on the bonnet). In very fine, all original condition throughout.
The box is complete, although quite grubby now with all end flaps complete (glue repair to one, and a little tear to another). Blue colour spot at the end flaps.
