Notes
There were lots of colour versions of this popular Dinky toy! This has got to be a favourite in this most pleasing of colour combinations – and in this close to perfect condition, quite irresistable!
This scarce early version has a dark grey cab, vibrant violet blue back (not the lighter royal blue), red ridged wheels, white lettering, smooth black tyres. An exceptional lustre to the paint finish throughout, complete with a working tow hook operated by means of a winding handle.
A little rough paint finish toward the tip of the tinplate jib and there are a few flecks where the paint has become slightly damp-affected at this point ( really minor!) .
Few minor marks to the paint finish only.
The sturdy deep orange lift-off lid box with a paper label is very nice indeed, with strong colours and rarely found this good!. Dinky stamp ‘G’ denoting grey on one side of the base.
Period penned price on the box underside. Very minor age wear only.
Original card packing piece is still present too.
Wonderful!
