Dinky 521

Notes

This most eye-catching of Dinky trucks has a lustrous yellow finish, black wings, red ridged hubs to the cab, grooved to the trailer (all correct) and “Dinky TOYS” on the base. Scarce with window glazing.

Easily overlooked paint miss on the bed (back corner). Hard to over-estimate just how attractive this truck is on display with such a glowing paint finish including head-on with original silver detailing at the headlights and radiator.
Painstaking examination finds the occasional minute touch-in (magnifier and strong light essential to stand a chance of spotting).
Late issue model (with windows) presented in an early blue box with a paper label. Brightly-coloured and complete with no tears or repairs. A little of the expected edge rubbing and some penned lettering on the lid. Pen mark at a lid end.
