Notes
An eye-catching Dinky commercial, this Guy van was made during Dinky’s heyday and is part of the sought-after range of advertising vans made during mid-late 1950s.
Issued between 1953-54 before its renumbering to 917.
An all original early issue with complete, distinctive ‘SPRATTS’ lettering in the shape of a Scottie dog on both sides. Occasional little mark to the all original paint finish. Note the marking to a couple of the smaller letters on one side.
Shiny base and well-shaped tyres.
The deep blue card box with a paper label is deeply-coloured with a complete paper label. Minor grubbiness and very light wear.
