Notes
Re-numbered from 39B in 1960, this fine French Dinky model has a darker caramel shade tractor and trailer, matching metal wheels and a white roof rack. Four metal pins on the trailer are still in place. Complete load of six plastic pipes. Two spare wheels, window glazing. This is a more difficult find with an unpierced trailer detail.
A few little marks away at some exposed edges. Lovely original sheen.
The attractive pictorial striped ‘Supertoys’ box is clean and complete. Minor age grubbiness/light wear. No splits. Period penned price at one lid end. Quality Control French Dinky Factory stamp on the inside of the lid.
