Dinky 274 Mini Minor Van 'Joseph Mason Paints, promotional item. Near mint plus/boxed. With promotional leaflet and packing ring. From The BST Collection.
Notes
Just 650 of the Mason Paint promotional vans were issued between 1969-70. The Mini Van has a vibrant all original deep maroon finish with intact Joseph Mason Paints labels on both sides and a complete ‘Paints’ label on the roof sign.
Pleasing original lustre.
Close inspection finds the occasional small mark.
Sleek black base and well-shaped original treaded tyres. Opening rear doors.
The maroon card box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured with no grubbiness or graffiti. Edge rubbing easily occurs during normal handling of this box and this can be seen on most edges of this example. However, the card has a crisp feel, no tears and the end flaps have plenty of spring.
The promotional booklet is included along with the original light blue packing ring which fits over the roof sign.
A rare Dinky promotional model which makes an excellent investment item.
