Notes
One of the most sought-after Dinky models – and surely one of the rarest Dinky Trucks, this is the correct early 1st type issue of the Foden Flat Truck with Chains in green, made during 1952.
Note the 1st type radiator grille, the dimpled post bosses on the underside, the tanker slots, and the large painted hook. Fine, black radial tyres.
Indeed head-on the cab looks mint – the 1st type radiator grille has absolutely no retouching, varnishing, silvering etc.
Under minute scrutiny of this model, you will find the occasional little touch-in, carefully done at some time.
Chain posts are straight, chain is original, green flashes at cab sides are perfect. Axle ends are shiny.
Attractive lustre throughout makes this a superb display piece.
The correct deep blue card box with lift-off lid has a bright and complete paper label . Very minor wear. Repaired tear around the letter ‘G’ at a short lid end.
Original owner has written his name neatly on the box base underside. Period pencilled price at a lid end.
A beautiful statement piece in a Dinky commercial collection.
