Notes
A classic sought-after Dinky Studebaker Tanker (early issue 1954-58) in all original condition with a lustrous and unfaded paint finish.
Bright base and well-formed original smooth black tyres.
Occasional negligible dot to the ‘Mobilgas’ lettering. The delicate detailed transfer at the rear is complete.
Tiny mark or two to the silver domes on the roof (nearly always found with much more rubbing).
Minor casting mark on one side. Mere dot or two to the paint finish.
The pictorial card box is complete and strongly-coloured. Little storage crumpling, tiny end flap tear and minor wear besides.
