D965
Dinky 965 Euclid Rear Dump Truck. Near mint plus/boxed, with packing insert. Scarce with window glazing, plastic winding handle cuff and red-backed Logo. Harder to find picture box version. From The Canadian Collection.
Notes
This is the slightly later issue, made between 1959-61 with window glazing and a red-backed ‘Euclid’ logo at the sides. Such a fine Supertoy from Dinky’s heyday; surely every child from the mid 50’s-60’s remembers it well! Very difficult to find absolutely mint. The truck has a lovely, bright, light yellow, all-original paint finish, complete “Euclid” lettering, logo, and wording on both sides.
A few incidental marks only. Of course, there are the unavoidable marks where metal meets metal on the underside of the tipping section but crucially no marking to the cab roof! . Mechanism for raising and lowering the tipper works well. Later issue with a grey plastic winding handle cuff.
The harder to find pictorial Supertoys box is bright, fresh and clean. Puncture-free! Light storage crumple and a very small area of surface loss at one lid side. Small price label nearby. Card packing insert is present too.
