FD39A
French Dinky 39A Unic Boilot Car Transporter. Early issue. Near mint plus/boxed. From The Berkshire Collection.
Notes
This is the early French Dinky issue of this Car Transporter (1957-59). During 1959, it would be re-numbered to 894. Bright and original silver and orange finish on this shining transporter in 1:55 scale!
Just one little chip near a headlight and a couple of very minor marks besides. One tyre has a definite flat spot (although it could be swapped since the spare is still stowed). Perfect ‘Dinky Toys Service Livraison’ transfers on both sides. Small stray piece of ‘extra’ transfer on the top ramp. (factory). Bright winding handle.
The large striped Supertoys box is very clean, fresh and bright too, with the card packing piece in which the truck sits.
As is often the case with these Dinky heavyweights, there are two neatly repaired corner seam splits. No graffiti. Minor shelf rubbing to thr deep blue box base underside.
Very nice!
