Notes
A classic Dinky agricultural pairing presented in the early, dual-numbered box. Issued during 1954.
a) D300 Massey-Harris Tractor in vivid cherry red and yellow finish with metal wheels. Complete with both metal stacks, steering wheel and driver. Few little edge marks and light speckled marking to the familiar fawn metal driver. A little tarnishing to the bare metal parts.
b) D324 Hay Rake in matching colours with nicely shaped undamaged metal combs. In very near mint condition with barely a mark! Note that both the earlier 27K Dinky number and the later 310 Dinky number are stamped on the base.
The scarce dual-numbered early issue box is very bright and clean. Small seam split and very minor age wear besides.
Lower packing piece is still present and has only minor wear at one wheel slot. Note the dual-numbering for both 27AK and 310 on box lid end.
