Notes
A classic sought-after Dinky Studebaker Tanker (early issue 1954-58) in outstanding condition with a beautifully lustrous, unfaded, original paint finish. Day one vivid sheen is just outstanding!
Bright base and well-formed original smooth black tyres.
‘Mobilgas’ lettering has not rubbed or chipped in any way and the delicate detailed transfer at the rear has no rubs or nicks.
Most notably, the silver domes on the roof are rub-free! Nearly always found with some box rubbing!
Little rough casting mark on the roof and a small chip at the rear edge of the roof. Couple of mere dots besides.
Makes an outstanding display piece.
The fine, fresh condition of the box belies its age with vivid colours on clean intact card. Shopkeeper’s period price at an end flap. Tiniest age wear only.
