Notes
Seeking out the unusual variations, the East Anglian Collector of Dinky and Corgi models may have items to fill some of the gaps in your collection. We are pleased to bring this collection to the market place.
Issued between 1969-79, this detailed Fire Engine model has a vivid non-metallic red finish – a more unusual find with a black interior. Complete ‘Fire Service’ labels are fresh and bright on both sides. Bright silver ladders etc. Red roof light. Window glazing. Early issue with metal wheels. Complete with hose.
Hard to find a mark. Obviously unused.
The comparatively flimsy window box has some storage/handling wear, including edge ruffling and creasing. Colours are bright. No graffiti. Intact original cellophane and a clean white polystyrene inner.
