Dinky 502
Dinky 502 Foden. Scarce 1st type, two-tone blue. 1947-48. Very near mint (but notable wheel arch chip)/boxed. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
A scarce first type Foden with a light bright blue cab and back, dark blue chassis, flash and hubs.
1947-48 issue correct with no hook or tank slits. Lovely, original black herringbone tyres, including the spare. A very pleasing display piece attractively finished in this eye-catching two-tone blue. Bright metal parts including the axle ends.
At some time, this truck has incurred a chip on a wheel arch. Just a couple of very small marks besides.
Note this model is housed in a Dinky 503 box with this model pictured, although intended for a Tailboard version. Fawn colour spot at a lid end. Moderate wear but no splits or graffiti, unless you count a period penned price on the lid.
A scarce and desirable early Dinky Foden model.
