D424
Dinky 424 Commer Convertible Articulated Truck. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. Unusual green card box. From a large stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
Issued 1963-66. A scarce item from Dinky. The Commer Prime Mover has a gleaming primrose yellow and silver finish with blue plastic hubs and window glazing. Spare wheel is still stowed. Shiny base.
Occasional little mark, but looks unused.
The silver trailer looks equally fresh – in very close to mint condition.
There are a choice of two covers: blue plastic canopy or stake fittings. Both intact, complete and still firmly slotted in place as if they have never been removed.
This box has an excellent inner, notably free from the usual tears. Just minor marking caused by the models
All items are housed in a distinctive, sturdy presentation-style box, unusual in green.
The stand up part of the lid has never been pushed out for display, so again suggesting that this item is unsold old shop stock. Just two little areas of surface removal on the lid and another where the box was originally taped shut, as usual. The colours are vivid and clean too. Pencil ‘tick’ at one end.
