Dinky Toys 411 Bedford Truck
Bedford Truck by Dinky Toys, No. 411. Near mint plus/boxed. From The Sherwood Collection.
Notes
This Bedford truck has an original mid green finish throughout. Issued between 1954-59.
A fine lustrous sheen to the paint finish, intact radiator with both headlights, early smooth tyres, tow hook and bright baseplate. Two small areas at one side (probably raised casting marks) have picked up moisture from the box over the years and have ‘bloomed’ (very small).
There are few tiny pin prick marks (at wheel arches etc.)
The box is bright with quite a crisp feel.
A few grubby marks and a little rubbing at edges. Small label has been removed with no surface loss. Small tear at one of the end flaps.
