Notes
This sought-after classic Dinky tanker was issued between 1958-64, this being an early issue with diecast wheels. Vibrant, glossy red finish throughout. Tanker is tinplate with lettering on both sides – couple of tiny marks to these most vulnerable of transfers. Rear transfer has a small thin scratch. Complete with an intact ladder and manhole covers.
Shiny base and original treaded tyres.
Paint finish is fine and all original – couple of little marks only.
The striped ‘Supertoys’ (italicised print) box is complete, clean and bright. Complete and bright U.S. Hudson Dobson export label on the box base underside.
