Notes

A rare early Dinky Gift set and a difficult find in any condition. Issued between 1935-41.

This set comprises:
1) Dinky 44a A.A. Box. Black and yellow highly detailed tinplate box with signature A.A. badge and intact delicate direction signs on the roof. Good with chipping to roof and some rusting visible predominantly on the base underside.

2) Dinky 44b Motor Cycle Patrol. Earliest issue (1935-40) with more detailing to the tan rider, and intact solid white rubber wheels. Good.

3) Dinky 44c A.A. Guide lead cast figure in tan. Fair figure directing the traffic. Delightful with original (factory) hand painted detailing. Re-attached to base now.

4) Dinky 44d A.A. Guide lead cast figure in tan. Saluting figure finished in tan with original hand painted detailing (factory). Sound.

Colourfully illustrated inner card background which is intact and bright. Few stains.

Lift-off lid powder blue box is intact with no splits or graffiti. Minor rubbing at edges. Scuff to one box base edge and a small storage puncture on box base underside.
