Notes
Issued between 1957-58, the golden age of Dinky! This is one of the most eye-catching Dinky models you can buy and it is always an exciting find. This sought-after van has an original vibrant red paint finish throughout and complete highly decorative transfers on both sides. Bright base and well-shaped, supple original tyres (save for a tiny flat spot to one).
A very few tiny marks to the paint finish – and a little rough casting low down on one side of the box van. Shiny metal parts throughout and that (most notably) includes the posts at the rear opening doors.
The box presents very well indeed – vibrant colours on clean, undamaged card. Faint trace of period (U.S.) price on the lid. Lightest wear only. This example is dated from May, 1957 (Dinky stamp on the inside of the box lid).
A highlight in any collection.
