Dinky 917
Dinky 917 Mercedes Truck & Trailer. Rare promotional 'Henry Johnson' version. Very near mint/boxed (tuck-in end flap repair). From a most knowledgeable & enthusiastic collector in South London
Notes
Now here’s an item often missing from even the most comprehensive of Dinky commercial collections – and the first we have ever offered for sale!
The Mercedes Truck is finished in a rather military green with a bright white plastic tilt, white tailboard and very clean and bright ‘Henry Johnson’ labels at both sides. Vivid red interior with white seats (3), one of which has arm rests!
Looks close to shop-fresh with only the most minor mark of two which you can generally find if you look long and hard enough. The chrome wing mirrors are bright and complete, although pressed toward the cab now (due to box contact).
The truck is correctly presented in the plain white end flap card box which is complete. Storage crumple and the tuck-in section of one large end flap has been re-attached.
