Dinky 581
Dinky 581 Horse Box. U.K. issue in maroon with maroon wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
A fine and original example of this early version made between 1953-54 (later renumbered 981). It is cast in aluminium and has a bright deep maroon paint finish, which is very close to perfect. One very small mark on the roof and just the occasional little mark besides. Perfect “BRITISH RAILWAYS” label above the cab window, perfect labels and transfers on both sides. A lovely and obviously unused example.
It comes in the correct early deep blue box with complete, bright paper labels (small repair to one of the labels on a short lid end). Minor wear.You may like
