Dinky 252
Dinky 252 Pontiac R.C.M.P. Car. Very near mint/boxed (small puncture due to roof light). From The Daylight Collection.
Notes
Originally purchased by the owner from a collector who enjoyed touring toy shops in the mid 60’s & early ’70’s buying models that appealed to him. If he could find a bargain then he would buy multiple examples of the same item. His collection comprises Dinky, Corgi and several Spot-On models.
This Pontiac Parisienne Police vehicle was made between 1969-74. It has an original deep blue paint finish, red light on the roof and both retractable twin aerials (so often they snap off – nice to see them complete, although it is often in the operation of them that they snap, so we have not elevated them). White front doors on both sides with intact RCMP Crests, Mountie figure is driving. Intact numberplates front and rear.
Just a couple of little marks (that you have to hunt for!).
The pictorial box is complete and brightly-coloured, with a crisp feel. Small puncture due to the roof light and a small split on on a non-picture side. Light wear besides and a penned number on one picture face. Period price in pencil.
