Dinky 921
Dinky 521/921 Bedford Articulated Lorry. Very near mint/in dual-numbered box. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
This model has a lustrous deep orange-yellow finish, black wings, red ridged hubs to the cab, grooved to the trailer (all correct) and “Dinky TOYS” on the base. This is a transition issue from 1954 (note the dual-numbering on the box).Hard to find a mark to the glossy paint finish but close scrutiny will find a few small touch-ins.
The scarce transition box is bright and clean colours with tiny wear only.
Tarnished staples Shopkeeper’s period penned price at one end of the lid.
