D257
Dinky 257 Fire Chief's Car. Very near mint/boxed. Complete with packing piece. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
This Canadian Fire Chief Nash Rambler model is in all original condition with complete ‘Fire Chief’ lettering on both sides. Large red light on the roof (so second issue – and a little more difficult to find). Bright baseplate and shiny shaped spun wheels. As-new original black treaded tyres with ‘M’ embossed.
Vibrantly-coloured throughout (not a trace of sunfading).
Couple of negligible marks to the paint finish.
The non-picture card box is complete and strongly-coloured. Light wear and a small end flap seam tear. Nice to see this example complete with the usually missing brown card packing piece.
