Notes
A classic sought-after Dinky Studebaker Tanker (early issue, in the dual-numbered box, so marking the change from the earlier numbering 30P which occurred during 1954).
All original condition with a lustrous and unfaded paint finish.
Bright base and original smooth black tyres.
Complete ‘Mobilgas’ lettering on both sides. Tiniest nibble to the delicate detailed transfer at the rear. Little box contact rub to just one of the raised silver domes on the roof (often found with more rubs than this)
A little light smudge of factory silver paint at the rear and a stray fleck of (factory) cream transfer has adhered to the base of one door.
The dual-numbered pictorial card box is complete and strongly-coloured. Light stain and minor grubbiness.
