Notes
Issued under this numbering 1964-65.
This fine and unused set comprises:
1) Dinky 300 Massey-Harris Tractor
2) Dinky 320 Harvest Trailer and raves
3) Dinky 321 Manure Spreader
4) Dinky 322 Disc Harrow
5) Dinky 324 Hay Rake
All items have such a fine sheen – surely the original to this set, which looks as if it has been tucked away for decades!
You may find the occasional factory assembly mark, or where metal meets metal, but the items still impress and each one is in all original condition!
The sturdy card insert further reinforces the belief that this set has rarely been handled.
Each item is secured well within its cut-out section and there is no sign of frequent handling or indeed removing of the items from the box. It seems that it is only now that they have been carefully removed from their little ‘compartments’ for these images!
The sturdy Presentation Box has very light wear and faint traces of the original tape which kept the lid closed. Small area of surface loss.
