D28R
Dinky 28R Delivery Van 'Swan Pens'. Rare Type 2 PRE-WAR model. Especially rare with original COBALT BLUE wheels. Very good plus/not individually boxed.
Notes
Issued between 1936-39, and one of the range of Pre-War Delivery Vans from Dinky, always sought-after by collectors.
These early models were made from an impure metal alloy which was unstable, so any of these early models in pretty sound condition are especially prized.
In all original condition, this Type 2 DElivery Van is finished in black with complete-near complete ‘SWAN PENS’ lettering and motif on both sides in silver.
The casting itself has faint surface crazing and a little ‘pop’ at the rear but again we would not anticipate any further deterioration as long as it is carefully handled and stored.
Some paint loss largely confined to the wheel arches and rear.
Note the number 674 on the base.
A precious survivor from the earliest period of Dinky model making.
