Dinky 917
Dinky 917 Mercedes-Benz Truck & Trailer. Scarce version with an ALL-BLUE CAB. Very near mint (with both wing mirrors)/boxed, with polystyrene packing wedge. From a most knowledgeable & enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
A Dinky heavyweight two piece set made between 1968-74. A shining mid-blue and yellow finish on both items, complete with white detachable tilts. Truck is a more difficult find with an all-blue cab. Red interior. Jewelled headlights and number plates (front and rear). Nice to see that both wing mirrors are present and intact.
Just a couple of negligible (probably as-made)marks.
The detailed card sleeve is clean, crisp, complete and bright, although there is some ruffling/tearing at wheel slots (this is a heavy item!).
The all card outer box is complete and bright. Couple of very small end flap tears. Polystyrene packing piece included.
