Notes
Originally purchased by the owner from a collector who enjoyed touring toy shops in the mid 60’s & early ’70’s buying models that appealed to him. If he could find a bargain then he would buy multiple examples of the same item. His collection comprises Dinky, Corgi and several Spot-On models.
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this being an early issue with a bright metallic emerald green cab, very pale grey back and red plastic hubs. Red interior. Model is in unused condition with both REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides, as well as the complete chevron label at the rear. Perfect crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate rear opening shutters are intact and function well, too.
Both plastic bins are present, with lids.
In very close to mint condition.
The end flap pictorial box is a great find in this condition.
Attractive backdrop for the truck when on display. Clean, bright, fresh and crisp. On eof the best we have seen.
