Dinky 502
Dinky 502 Foden Flat Truck. Very near mint/boxed, with packing card. 1st type. Scarce. From a collector in Northamptonshire.
Notes
A scarce and quite beautiful early Dinky commercial Foden! This is a very fine example of this 1st type Foden in all original condition in the correct early box.
With a gleaming deep green original finish, bright baseplate, silver flash, 1st type cab, no hook, and well-shaped, herringbone tyres.
This truck has been carefully stored for some fifty+ years – certainly never played-with! Occasional negligible mark only. Intact 20 mph transfer is still in place at the rear wheel arch.
The correct early buff card box has a complete and deeply-coloured paper label. No splits or repairs. Light wear and a little of the usual rusting at staples. Meccano quality control stamp on the box base underside. Faint factory stamp at one lid end (‘G’ in green).
Original card packing piece is included.
