French Dinky 561 Citroen H Van 'Baroclem'. Very near mint/boxed. Very rare promotional with rare BATTERY CASE & correct Leaflet too. From a collector in The Antipodes.
Notes
A guaranteed authentic example of this rare French Dinky promotional model.
An all original example of the promotional Citroen H Van finished in mid-blue with aluminium concave wheels and complete ‘BAROCLEM’ transfers throughout.
Exceptionally difficult piece to find in any condition, this model is very near mint.
Correct tyres with light tread are well-shaped.
Few small marks only.
Note that this example is correct in all respects with the correct tyres, correct hand-painted silver details on the cab step, correct that the the central post is not fully painted, and the door interior is not painted either.
The colourful and distinctive picture boximpresses with a crisp, fresh feel showing minimal handling. Day-one bright colours. Tiny wear.
Extremely scarce is this outer BAROCLEM Battery Box, with + – signs on the terminals. Mint condition.
Included is the Baroclem Leaflet.
Outstanding lustre, this is a premium display piece and the best example QDT have seen.
