Dinky 281
Dinky 281 Luxury Coach. Cream, red flash, red wheels. Near mint/boxed. Scarce colour issue. From The Rickman Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-60 in various colour finishes, this being one of the more difficult versions to find. The cream finish is in near mint condition, whilst the red flashes have picked up minor rubbing from box contact. Red ridged wheels (minor fading) and a bright baseplate with small print.
The box is crisp with no tears. Correct colour spot at the end flaps. Some shopkeeper’s pencilled pricing at an end flap. Minor age grubbiness only and a small pen mark.
Nice example of this model in this scarce colour finish.
