Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A first for QDT! A sensational 3.4 LT Jaguar model finished in bright red with original silver details, steering wheel. Silver wheels with original, well-shaped treaded black tyres.
Very fine example in virtually mint-mint condition!
A stray dab of factory silver on a front wing.
Note the early baseplate with Jaguar 3.4 LItre and DINKY TOYS still visible.
Rare box presentation – this plain, end flap box has correct and original ‘Nicky Toys’ labels on one side and at an end flap. Note too the ‘ATAMCO PRIVATE LTD. CALCUTTA ’ print on a cream label. Product number ’195’ is inked at an end flap.
An extremely unusual early box presentation that has minor wear only.
