Dinky Toys Gift Set 5 Train & Hotel Staff
Train & Hotel Staff by Dinky Toys, Gift Set No. 5 . Rare issue, circa 1939. Excellent plus - near mint/boxed. From The 25 Year Collection in California.
Notes
A set of colourful figures (approx 40mm). Tan bases. Some marking to the figures. In all original condition.
The colourful lift-off lid box has survived extremely well with hardly any wear. Card feels sturdy. Colours are fresh and vibrant.
Deep yellow insert is bright and complete, showing a little age grubbiness. Items are strung to this insert by means of black thread.
Note there are (unusually) 6 figures in this set which includes a mother and child. The perforated apertures through which the string is threaded appear to be consistent , so this set is rather a mystery to us.
