Dinky Toys 409 Bedford Articulated Lorry
Bedford Articulated Lorry by Dinky Toys, No. 409. Very near mint, with window glazing/boxed. Dated August 1960. Very fine example from The Reference Collection.
Notes
This classic Dinky commercial model was issued during 1960 (Dinky stamp on the inside of the box lid). A wonderfully fresh and lustrous example with an original deepest orange-yellow paint finish with black wings and red hubs. Issue with window glazing. Treaded tyres. Casting above the fuel tank is straight not curved as in the slightly earlier example.
A most eye-catching display piece.
The colourful yellow and violet blue picture box is really bright, clean and fresh-looking! Looks very close to shop-fresh! LIghtest wear.
