Dinky Toys 955 Commer Fire Engine

Notes
An attractive example of this classic Dinky model.
A vibrant bright red paint finish with two shining silver ladders and bright bells. Window glazing* version. Bright baseplate. Red ridged Supertoy hubs (one mal-formed, as-made) and grey original (as-new) tyres.
A few little marks as you might expect where the ladder rests and a couple of very small marks at the rear.
The striped Supertoys box is very bright and fresh-looking, complete with no splits. Bright staples and no trace of sunfading to the deep blue base. Very small paper tear to the base. Period writing on inside of the lid dates the place and date of purchase, we assume, Zaragoza 20.4.65.
