Notes
Made from the original Dinky tooling for the Leyland Octopus Tanker (see base). Just like Nicky/Dinky toys in this respect. From Calcutta India.
Finished in vivid yellow with grey plastic wheels and deep blue window glazing. ‘Leyland Octopus – A Milton Product’ on the base. Well-shaped treaded tyres including the spare.
Plastic tanker in yellow and white has very nearly complete ’BURMAH-SHELL" labels and logo on both sides as well as SHELL logo at the rear. Intact tow hook. Jewelled headlights. Screwed base. Occasional tiny mark to the paint finish.
Distinctive card box has minor wear.
Rare to come to the market-place, and hard to find this good.
