Dinky 959
Dinky 959 Foden Dump Truck with Bulldozer Blade. Near mint/boxed (lift-off lid and YELLOW base). Red, with silver chassis. Smooth 'overhang' and red wheels issue. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Made between 1961-68, this version is finished in red with a silver chassis and dozer blade, red wheels (correct that the two front wheels are plastic, the rest are metal). Harder version to find with smooth overhang.
Two hydraulic working rams and an unfaded finish.
Closest inspection (with magnifier & determination!) will find a few dot retouches.
The attractive yellow picture box is complete and brightly-coloured. Glossy card. Note that this version has a yellow base (more usually found with a deep blue base). A few little surface rubs to the lid and an edge scuff. Very light wear besides.
Card packing piece is included.
