Notes
We are very pleased to offer this superb Dinky model issued during the transitional period during 1954 when it was re-numbered (shopkeeper has written the 991 re-numbering at one end of this U.S. export Hudson Dobson box). More often found as a ‘SHELL CHEMICALS LIMITED’ model at this time.
This attractive commercial truck has such a lustrous red and yellow finish, with just the occasional little mark at some exposed points. Perfect ‘SHELL CHEMICALS’ lettering at the sides.
Presents nicely with a perfect “SHELL” label at the rear as well as the 20mph sticker:
Note there is an additional dab of yellow factory yellow paint at a raised point.
The powder blue box with a paper label has two paper labels (one on top of the other), and is obviously a factory over-sight. A little age/handling wear. Shopkeeper’s own re-numbering at the ends, and traces of sticky tape at this site too. Vivid ‘Hudson Dobson’ export label at one side.
