Dinky Toys 161 Austin Somerset Saloon
Austin Somerset Saloon by Dinky Toys, No. 161. Scarce cream & black issue. Early issue with smooth tyres. Very near mint/boxed. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
This is the sought after late two-tone issue made towards the end of the run 1956-59. In authentic and original condition throughout with a pleasing lustre to the paint finish. Correct that this early issue does not have the rear light detail or silver numberplate. Correct smooth tyres are well-shaped generally (one has a light flat spot).
Very close to mint.
None of the usual rubbing to the roof.
The box is complete, clean and bright. Crisp, with lots of end flap spring. Correct two-tone colour spot. Very light wear incudes a few light creases.
