Notes
Sought-after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
This Mercedes model is black with a yellow roof and a complete ‘Taxi’ sign on the roof, original silver trim and a complete bonnet emblem. Usual poor factory finish to the edge of the yellow paint on the roof.
Couple of minor incidental marks on the black paint.
The box is complete and brightly-coloured, although one end flap is detached now (loose inside the box). A little of the usual rubbing at edges.
Unusual item.
