Notes
Not an easy model to find! This large Dinky excavator model was issued between 1963-67. Intact original tracks. The model has a primrose yellow plastic body with red and green metal parts. Perfect ‘Ruston Bucyrus’ labels on both sides. A couple of negligible marks on the jib/bucket. Bright and shiny metal parts.
The distinctive sturdy card Dinky Supertoys box is complete and brightly-coloured. A little age/handling wear and a few scuffs/tiny tears. Residue from the old tape which kept the lid closed.
Inner card packing piece:
Nice to see that this example comes complete with the Instruction Leaflet:
