Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this being an early issue with a bright green cab, pale grey back, deeper grey chassis, and red plastic hubs. Red interior. Model is in unused condition with both REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides (very minor edge grubbiness), as well as the complete chevron label at the rear. Perfect crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate rear opening shutters are intact and function well. Supple, well-shaped original tyres.
Just a couple of little marks at a wheel arch and a couple of very small bumper marks.
Both plastic bins with lids are present.
The pictorial lift-off lid box is complete and vibrantly-coloured.Some age wear/grubbiness now, but no splits or graffiti.
