Dinky 504

Notes

An early example of this popular Dinky model, issued between 1948-52. Dark blue cab and chassis, lighter blue tank and flash.
An honest example in excellent plus condition with a vibrant original paint finish. Well-shaped radial tyres, 20 mph sign at rear, small hook, spare wheel, tinplate ladders. No rust/discolouration to the ladders .A few little chips mostly at wheel arches and on the tinplate tank. Bright baseplate. Some axle tarnishing.

The unusual deep green box is brightly-coloured. Little lid puncture has pressed back into place. A few edge nibbles to the paper label. Period price at lid end.
