Dinky 274
Dinky 274 Mini Minor Van 'Joseph Mason Paints', promotional item. Very, very near mint /boxed. With promotional leaflet and packing ring. Scarce model from The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
Just 650 of the Mason Paint promotional vans were issued between 1969-70.
The Mini Van has a vibrant all original deep maroon finish with intact Joseph Mason Paints labels on both sides and a complete ‘Paints’ label on the roof sign.
Lovely original lustre, obviously a cherished item that has rarely seen the light of day. Virtually mint.
The maroon card box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured with no grubbiness or graffiti.
A little of the usual edge rubbing easily occurs during normal handling of this box. No tears. Crisp feel.
The promotional booklet is included along with the original light blue packing ring which fits over the roof sign.
