D959
Dinky 959 Foden Dump Truck with Bulldozer Blade. Very, very near mint/boxed. Scarce silver back and chassis issue. An exceptional item from a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
Made between 1961-68, this version is finished in red with a silver tipper and chassis, red wheels (correct that the two front wheels are plastic, the rest are metal).
In all original condition with two hydraulic working rams. No sunfading at all – indeed this model looks like old shop stock! Couple of minor marks if you are looking to fault it.
The attractive yellow picture box is very clean, fresh and bright – again looks rarely handled. Hardly any wear at all. Colours are day-one vibrant. Faint pencilled (Alderney 1961) on one lid side.
A very fine example indeed.
