D252
Dinky 252 Bedford Refuse Truck. Mint (but rusty winding handle)/boxed (export). Tan, green shutters, version without window glazing. From the Italian collection.
Notes
In outstanding, fresh condition, this is an early issue of this Dinky classic (1954-60) in fawn and green finish with tinplate shutters. Early issue without window glazing. Such a gleaming paint finish!
In mint unused condition, looking like old shop stock. The winding handle is rusty now however.
The export box is a fitting partner with crisp vibrant colours on barely handled, fresh card.
Light crease, minor shelf grubbiness and a small ruffle at an end flap edge.
