French Dinky 805
French Dinky 805 Unic Multi Skip & Gas Tanker. Very near mint/boxed with PALE YELLOW card insert. From The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1966-71, this is a premium French Dinky set presented in a beautifully illustrated, full colour pictorial box.
This set comprises a Unic Lorry with two interchangeable backs i.e. the grey skip and gas cylinder.
In unused condition, this set is a sought-after item. Occasional tiny mark. Note that one side window has three small blemishes (as-made).
The full colour picture is most attractive. Colours have lost none of their vibrancy. Only the most minor wear. Original owner’s name is faintly pencilled. Box base has two areas of surface loss due to removal of tape and some rubbing/wear besides.
Complete with the pale yellow shaped card insert in which all three items are placed (small tears & light wear).
Quality Control Factory stamp on the inside of the box lid.
A difficult find in this condition.
