Notes
This classic Dinky truck was made between 1956-58. This particular example was made during 1957 (Dinky stamp on the inside of the box lid). Lustrous finish in deep blue with an orange-yellow stake back, red supertoy ridged wheels.
A few minor dots may be seen if you scrutinise closely enough. Overall impression is extremely fine! Spare wheel is stowed underneath.The bright clean box looks very clean and strongly-coloured. No splits or graffiti. Small area of surface removal on one side of the lid. None of the usual rubbing and wear at lid corners. Box base is equally vivid, although the underside has some shelf rubbing.
