Dinky 503
Dinky 503 Foden Flat Truck with Tailboard. Very scarce blue & yellow issue. Near mint plus/boxed. Rare version from The Rickman Collection.
Notes
Issued for a short period during 1954 before its renumbering to 903, this version in violet blue and deep yellow with light blue wheels is a scarce item and a rare find in this condition. All original and authentic throughout with a pleasing lustre to the paint finish. Marking nearly all confined to the rear tailboard edge. Released in limited numbers, this classic Dinky truck is a very difficult find, especially in close to mint condition.
Excellent original grey tyres including the spare still affixed to the bright baseplate.
The early deep blue card box with a paper label is complete and bright, with the usual wear at edges etc. No graffiti or splits.
One could wait years to find another example!
