Notes
What a wonderful sight! This is the original Dinky Trade Pack which enclosed all six promotional ’Job’s Dairy Vans’ in their original boxes! Inside all 6 boxed models are still present enclosed within their individual virtually pristine – pristine card boxes.
Six from only 1176 promotional models made during 1960. Beautiful cream paint finish and notably complete ’Job’s Dairy’ transfers front and back on each model. Paint finish is very close to mint- virtually mint! It must be stressed that this is not a later ‘made-up’ set of vans – these are the originals and are each contained in vibrant crisp unfaded boxes (correct plain N.C.B. boxes). No colour spots on these boxes – some were issued with and some without, we surmise those toward the end of the production run were issued without. Notably the boxes are crumple-free. One has a stray additional piece of factory transfer
An exceptional item!
The outer carton is complete and bright. Traces of the original sellotape used to close the carton, and a discreet repair to a seam tear. A little storage crumple and a small tear besides.
A very scarce find and a shrewd investment piece. A sensational Dinky display item – old shop stock Dinky models in their original packing are especially prized.
