Dinky 965
Dinky 965 Euclid Rear Dump Truck. Scarce early issue with pale tan-backed logo at the sides. Near mint plus/boxed. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
A familiar Dinky Supertoy from Dinky’s heyday; surely every child from the mid 50’s-60’s remembers it well! It has been quite a while since we have offered this particular version for sale – it would appear rarer than the TEREX issue! This 1st issue has no window glazing and the pale tan-backed logo (later issues had a red-backed logo).
A creamy yellow finish with a metal winding handle, and the all-important “Euclid” lettering, logo, and wording complete on both sides.
Nearly always found chipped, this example has a few subtle touch-ins visible to the keenest eyes.
The striped Supertoy box if rather scuffed in places. No punctures in the box lid (often the case!) or graffiti. No repairs either. Rusty staples.
