Dinky 948
Dinky 948 Tractor-Trailer McLean. Near mint plus/boxed. Rare to find with YELLOW BOX BASE & card packing piece. Very fresh box! From The Heart of England Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961-67, this Dinky commercial truck has a vivid red (unfaded) cab, red plastic hubs and a grey back. The rear opening doors are complete. Detailed McLean transfers on both cab sides are complete. Delicate McLean transfers on the trailer – complete on one side, small corner scuff to the other. . McLean label at the front of the trailer has the tiniest edge nick.
Couple of small edge nibbles to one of the rear door labels – the other three are fine.
Note the excellent true pale grey colour of the trailer – very prone to light discolouration – this one is thankfully unblemished!
Few marks to the coupling area of the chassis (not visible until the cab is detached).
The Supertoys box is very clean, bright and complete. No tears or graffiti. Really a very fine example indeed with bright staples – and this example has the harder to find yellow base!
Small deep blue card packing piece is included too.
