Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
Looking as if this truck has never left the confines of its box, this is an early issue example in the all card box presentation. Bright all original paint finish in metallic blue and orange with a yellow blade and a harder find with yellow plastic wheels.
Shiny silver base and factory fresh original tyres.
None of the expected chips on the yellow plough edges (tiniest edge rub), and a couple of tiny marks to the window glazing above the windscreen wiper detail. Mere dot or two to the deep orange sides (probably as made).
The pictorial card box is in exceptional condition! Nearly always found damage due to the weight of this model in the box. This example looks like old shop stock and comes complete with the card packing piece too. The most minor age wear only.
Issued between 1970-1976.
