Notes
Re-numbered from 39B in 1960, this fine French Dinky model has a sand beige tractor and trailer, matching metal wheels and a white roof rack. Four metal pins on the trailer are still in place. Complete load of six plastic pipes. Two spare wheels, window glazing. Early issue with pierced trailer detail (later issue was solid).
Couple of small marks away from mint.
The attractive pictorial striped ‘Supertoys’ box is clean and bright. Very minor wear and a delightful (and touching!) period note neatly written in French on one side of the box lid and dated Christmas 1959. Dinky Quality Control Stamp ‘Meccano Controle’ on the inside of the box lid.
