Dinky 253
Dinky 253 Daimler Ambulance. Very near mint/boxed. Early deep cream issue without window glazing. From The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
First issue of this Daimler ambulance in cream finish, red ridged wheels and cast Red Cross emblems on both sides. Shiny base and well-shaped original tyres.
Early issue, correct without window glazing.
Little casting mark on one side and a tiny rub or two on one of the Red Cross emblems. Obviously rarely handled.
The plain red and yellow card box is complete and strongly-coloured. Shows minimal handling wear.
A pleasing classic Dinky toy model made between 1954-58.
