N054
Nicky/Dinky Toys 054 Standard Herald MKII. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. From The Eric Slager Collection.
Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A very close to mint example finished in a vivid metallic blue, with original silver details, white interior, steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Shiny spun wheels and fine original treaded tyres.
Little factory assembly chip low down on one side. . Shiny black base with ’DINKY TOYS", product name and Indian Licensee details visible.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is complete and clean. Usual age/handling wear and a coupe of end flap tears. Very small area of surface loss at an end flap.
