D481
Dinky 481 Bedford 10cwt Van 'Ovaltine'. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1955-60 only, this classic Dinky model was one of a series of delightful advertising vans made during this period.
Nearly always found with some marking to the transfer edge, this one is happily free from any nicks. Letters are crisp and clearly defined with no mottling or rubbing either. A very fine example.
Bright, original, lustrous mid-blue paint finish, too.
Stray fleck of transfer at a roof edge and the keenest eye may spot a mere dot or two to the paint finish (you generally can find a tiny mark if you look long enough!). Shiny base and smooth original tyres.
Very nice!
The box is very fie indeed with vivid colours on ever so crisp card. Shows minimal handling. Period price at an end flap. Few little grubby dots on one side. Tiny corner crumple.
