Dinky 512
Dinky 512 Guy Flat Truck Rare issue in maroon & black. Near mint plus/boxed. In correct early buff box. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
A first issue example from 1947-48 only, in the scarce maroon and black finish.
Such a fine lustre to this distinctive warm finish! Few little marks as you might expect for a model of this age and close inspection finds a few little retouches.
Nice bright axles, including the ends. Spare wheel, small unpainted hook.
Correct early box with a bright paper label. Period penciled price.
A little wear commensurate with age and light rusting to the staples.
This particular colour finish is a difficult find in any condition.
