Dinky 514
Dinky 514 Guy Van "SLUMBERLAND". Near mint/boxed. Early issue with ridged wheels.
Price: £325.00
This item is no longer for sale, price for reference only.
Notes
Issued between 1950-52, this model has a deep, vibrant red original paint finish with complete detailed transfers on one side. There is a little loss to the lettering in the small print ‘manufacturers’ on the other side.
Early issue with ridged ‘car’ wheels.
Later issue would have ‘Supertoy’/grooved wheels.
There are a few handling chips at exposed edges as one might expect (e.g. at rear door handles, at cab wheel arches), but this model presents very nicely and has no touch-ups upon close examination.
None of the usual chipping on the cab roof or box van roof either.
Base is bright, shiny and fresh. Smooth original tyres are well-shaped, supple and run well.
The early blue box with a paper label has vibrant colours with no sunfading whatever. No splits. Complete paper label. A little minor age/handling wear only.
