Notes
A classic sought-after Dinky Studebaker Tanker (early issue 1954-58) with a bright and original paint finish:
Light crazing/marking to the ‘Mobilgas’ lettering. Fine original silver bumpers and radiator detail. Rub to just one of the raised silver domes on the roof and a tiny mark to another.
Lovely detailed transfer at the rear.
Bright baseplate and well-shaped original smooth tyres.
Couple of negligible marks to the paint finish.
The scarce dual-numbered box is complete and bright. Light wear and a couple of minor rubs.
