Notes
Issued between 1959-64 as part of the Dublo Dinky range, a 1:76 scale model to suit the Dublo train layout.
This example has a vivid, original red finish with tiny, complete yellow ‘ROYAL MAIL’ lettering on both sides. Grey knobbly tyres.
Few mere dots to the paint finish.
The slim bright pictorial box is very fresh and crisp. Lovely, day-one bright colours, too. Tiny ‘start of a tear’ at one small end flap. Period pencilled price.
