Notes
This sought-after classic Dinky tanker was issued between 1958-64, this being an early issue with diecast wheels. Vibrant,glossy red finish throughout. Tanker is tinplate with fine transfers on both sides and at rear. Complete with an intact ladder and manhole covers.
A superb display piece.
Upon closest inspection, you will find three very small, later touch-ins. Occasional negligible mark besides.
The striped ‘Supertoys’ box is very fresh, clean and bright. No graffiti, tears or repairs. Small corner crumple and rusty staples.
