D960
Dinky 960 Lorry Mounted Concrete Mixer, with windows. Blue & yellow rotating drum. Very near mint (with MATT BASE & BLACK TYRES)/boxed. Scarce picture box. From a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
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.
A pleasing example of this classic Dinky truck finished in gleaming orange with a blue and yellow rotating drum. In all original condition, this example presents well, the cement mixer rotates as the truck moves along.The mixer can also be tipped up in order to discharge its cement load down the delivery chute
Note the matt base and was-new original black tyres (more often found with a shiny base grey tyres).
Barely a mark to the paint finish. Minor rubbing to one wheel. Little rough casting at the cement chute edge.
The pictorial Supertoys box is a more difficult find. Clean and bright with no splits or repairs. Rusty staples. Minor age/handling wear. Period pencilled price at a lid end.
