N186
Nicky/Dinky Toys 186 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE. Light metallic green version. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. From a carefully hand-picked selection of models in The Netherlands.
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 close to mint example finished in light metallic green with original silver details, off-white interior, steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Silver and black plastic one-piece tyres/wheels.
A mark at the rear wings. Shiny black base has minor tarnishing.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) has the usual wear and lacks the tuck-in part of one large end flap and a little section of a small end flap.
