Notes
The first we have ever handled, this is a rare variation indeed! This late issue has green wheels, window glazing and a red-backed ‘Euclid’ logo at the sides. The truck has a lovely bright yellow, all-original paint finish, perfect “Euclid” lettering, logo, and wording on both sides.
None of the usual rubbing on the raised ‘ribs’ of the tipper etc., there are just a few of the typical marks at exposed edges. Mechanism for raising and lowering the tipper works well. Correct that this later issue would have a part metal (a little rusty), part plastic winding handle.
The unusual picture panel box is bright and intact with no seam tears etc. Rubbing at edges and a few grubby marks. No punctures or graffiti.
Exceptionally scarce variation.
