D410
Dinky 410 Bedford End Tipper. Near mint plus/boxed. 1st issue in red and cream, red cast wheels, no window glazing. Version with anodised deep grey winding handle. With card packing ring. From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
This striking Tipper Truck has a vibrant red and cream finish. Not a hint of sunfading to the vivid red cab and chassis and the cream back is virtually unmarked. The black radiator and headlight assembly with original silver detailing looks very fine too. This is the 1st issue without window glazing.
Shiny base and an anodised dark grey winding handle (other version has a shiny chrome winding handle). Smooth, well-shaped, original tyres.
Mere dot on the roof and a mark at a front wheel arch. Occasional mere dot besides.
The pictorial box is brightly-coloured, clean and complete. Very crisp! Correct colour spot. Couple of light creases. Tiny end flap ‘start of a tear’. Penned writing at an end flap. With original packing ring.
