Notes
A classic Dinky toy which is hard to resist! Such a bright and shining original paint finish on this cherished toy – sure to find pride of place in your collection!
Such a shining and vibrant finish, with a few marks at one wheel arch in particular and a few smaller marks besides. Still a great example with its little bell and a shining bright silver ladder (none of the usual rubs!). A real little gem – and this late issue with treaded tyres was made towards the end of the production run (1954-62).
The late issue picture box is complete and bright.
Minor storage grubbiness and the start of an internal end flap tear.
One of our Dinky favourites, this Fire Engine epitomises Dinky models of this period.
