D591
Dinky 591 AEC Tanker. Scarce "Shell Chemicals Limited" issue. Near mint plus/boxed. From The HNC Collection.
Notes
Issued made between 1952-54 only, before it was re-numbered. This eye-catching commercial truck has a bright red and yellow finish. Not an easy find in this condition with perfect “SHELL CHEMICALS LIMITED” lettering on both sides (save for one tiny nick). Presents nicely with a perfect “SHELL” label at the rear. 20mph sticker is complete too.
Pleasing lustrous finish – and all original!
Original grey tyres are well-shaped and have retained their true colour (often they become yellowed over time).
Light rubbing at front bumper area (minor) and a few small marks besides.
The deep blue box has a complete paper label. Complete and bright, with a little of the typical age wear. Faint stain. Light storage edge bruise, crease and a corner rub. Colours have lost none of their vibrancy.
