Issued between 1954-56, after its re-numbering from 522. In all original condition, with a fine sheen to the deep maroon and tan finish. Fawn wheels, silver trim.
Just a few negligible marks only.
The scarce dual-numbered striped picture box is bright with no splits or repairs. A little shelf rubbing to the box base and a few minor light creases to the lid. Minor wear besides Correct colour spot. Shopkeeper’s pencilled price.
Precisely dated 1954, from the factory Dinky stamp inside the box lid. This box marks the transition from the older numbering (522) to the change to 922 in 1954.
