Notes
This collection represents a lifelong deep appreciation of Dinky Toys, Britains models, Minic models and more primarily from the 1940’s & 50’s. All British made diecast and tinplate models. Proceeds going to charities close to his heart.
A most displayable Dinky commercial with a gleaming orange-yellow paint finish and virtually perfect – perfect detailed transfers throughout.
So hard to get absolutely perfect, this example is better than the vast majority you will see – and stands up well to the closest scrutiny. A rare find therefore. A factory dab of paint (we assume) on the roof where there is a very small raised casting dot.
Shiny base and bright metal parts generally. Complete with spare wheel stowed.
Couple of the tiniest flat spots to the otherwise very fine grey original tyres.
The yellow picture box is brightly-coloured and tear-free. ‘LF’ label (lead-free) on one short lid end. Very small area of surface loss nearby.
