D481
Dinky 481 Bedford 10cwt Van 'Ovaltine'. Very near mint/boxed. From the Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1955-60 only, this classic Dinky model was one of a series of delightful advertising vans made during this period.
Bright, original, lustrous mid-blue paint finish with ‘OVALTINE’ transfers on both sides (complete on one side, tiny nick side to the cream background of the transfer on the other side). Bright axles, including the ends and a shiny base. Fine lustre and none of the usual chipping to the headlight rims.
The box is clean and bright with a crisp feel to the card. Crease at an end flap and a very small start of a tear (really small!).
Fine example – both model and box.
