D512
Dinky 512 Guy Flat Truck. Very, very near mint/boxed. From an impeccable collection in The Netherlands.
Notes
A very fine example of this Dinky commercial vehicle in mid (French) blue (not violet or light blue) with a deep red flatbed, paler blue, grooved Supertoy wheels.
Retaining day-one colour vibrancy and lustre, this fine Dinky commercial looks entirely unused.
Supertoys on the base, large painted hook, rear axles in cast lugs:
Shiny base and well-shaped supple tyres.
Upon the most careful inspection, one will find a few mere dots (at rear flat bed corners) – most toys fail under this kind of close scrutiny.
The colourful and bright striped picture box has minor age wear and the remains of a faded original price label at one short lid end. Originally exported to the U.S., so this example has the Hudson Dobson exporter’s label on one side of the lid ( partial loss).
