This tinplate friction drive ‘MOBILGAS’ Tank Truck is finished in red and white with fine detailed shiny chrome, complete MOBIL logo on both sides of the cab. Detailed lithographed cab interior.
Issued circa 1960, this model has been carefully stored for decades. So tank is undented, MOBILGAS lettering is unscratched, wheels are shiny, tyres are well-shaped.
Occasional tiny mark – but surely this is one of the best surviving examples!
Colourfully illustrated card box adds to the appeal. LIght wear ony. With card packing too.
