D781
Dinky 781 Petrol Pump Station "ESSO". Near mint/boxed (export), with scarce, original BUFF packing card. From a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
Issued between 1955-62, and in bright, original condition. Yellow plastic hoses are complete. ESSO labels on the pumps have a few little marks but this set still displays well. Few little paint chips since the items tend to contact one another within the packing. An unplayed-with set.
Note the plain buff card packing with this set (more often found with yellow packing). Exported to the U.S. , this may have been used only for some U.S. examples. Presented in the red and yellow plain card box. Very crisp, clean and bright, although there is a very small storage puncture. Storage crease and a tiny start of an end flap tear. Period price at an end flap.
