Notes
A fine Dinky tractor in unused condition with a vibrant red finish, plastic yellow front wheels and plastic driver. Transition issue so the chimney stack is metal. Note too, that this particular version does not have the ‘Massey-Harris’ lettering at the sides. Recognised variant.
Bright clean and fresh baseplate.
Small casting mark on one side and a little uneven paint on rear wheel arches. Few little marks besides.
The correct paler yellow late picture box is bright and clean. Crisp. Box version with ‘conventional’ end flaps, so this issue would not have a serrated tag. Period pencilled price .
This scarce later version of this popular Dinky model was made between 1966 until 1971.
