Notes
A striking Shackleton Foden Truck. Issued 1948-52, this is a scarce British heavyweight Foden Platform Lorry finished in deep blue, red and black with a red fuel tank. Beautifully constructed, this was part of a small range of diecast constructional models made between 1948-52 by this British manufacturer. This Foden model measures 32cms x 9.5cms. approx.
Complete with spare wheel stowed underneath. Some chipping mostly at vulnerable points.
Especially difficult to find with its distinctive sturdy colourful card box in light green Temporary Pack with a very nearly complete paper label at lid end. Some of the usual wear but no seam repairs or heavy wear.
Original key, spanner and Brochure are included.
Inside the box, you will find a card tray for the Trailer and a smaller tray for accessories.
The Trailer in a slightly different shade of blue, with red wheel arches and one pair of swivelling wheels. Drawbar. Marking to the paint finish and note that the top edges of the trailer have had a lick of paint at some time. Little area besides, too.
