D480
Dinky 480 Bedford 10 CWT. Van 'KODAK'. Near mint/boxed. Harder to find in a plain box.
Notes
Issued between 1954-56, this Bedford Van is in vibrant, all original condition, with a fresh paint finish, red ridged wheels and a bright baseplate.
Transfers are easily legible on both sides, although there is some rubbing to the bottom edge of the KODAK lettering (mostly on one side and very likely to be as-made). Couple of negligible dots to the paint finish only.
The plain card box is a harder find. This example is complete although rather grubby with a little wear and tear at end flaps. Shopkeeper’s pencilled price on one side.
