Notes
Now here’s a Dinky model you don’t see too often!
Issued between 1954-55, this is a very scarce item, the FORD version of the Nestlé Milk Truck and notable that it comes complete with all 10 little metal milk churns.
So prone to chipping at the raised edges of the sides of the truck. Barley a mark to be seen. However, there are a few very small touch-ins visible to the keenest eye. Fine lettering on both sides.
A highly decorative piece.
Shiny base and metal parts. Well-shaped original tyres.
This model has clearly been carefully handled and very well-stored.
The distinctive deep red and yellow box is complete and bright showing a little age/storage wear including the occasional edge rub/slight fading. Unusual to find with the buff card blocks with red ends (original) in which all the little milk churns may be stored.
Complete, pale yellow paper label at one end of the lid (correct).
A wonderful find – and a highly unusual and decorative French Dinky classic commercial truck to add to your collection.
