Notes
A much-loved Supertoy from Dinky’s heyday; surely every child from the mid 50’s-60’s remembers it well!
Very difficult to find absolutely mint, this example is close to mint. A lovely bright yellow paint finish, this is an early issue with an all metal winding handle. Complete “Euclid” lettering, logo, and wording on both sides. Version with the red-backed logo. Mechanism for raising and lowering the tipper works well. In notably honest condition ( so often found with later retouches since Dinky yellow paint is prone to chip). Small flake of paint on the inside surface of the tipping section and a few small marks nearly all confined to the tipping section besides.
The striped Supertoy box (upright script, not italicised) is bright and fresh with no splits at the sides. Minor age wear only. Complete with upper card packing piece and even the Dinky Quality Control Tag. Dated 1955 by the Dinky stamp inside the box lid.
