Dinky 502
Dinky 502 Foden Flat Truck. Near mint plus/boxed. 1st type. Scarce. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
A scarce early Dinky commercial Foden. This is a pleasing, original example of this 1st type Foden in the correct early box.
Deep green original finish, bright baseplate ‘spidering’), silver flash, 1st type cab, no hook, and well-shaped, herringbone tyres.
This truck has been carefully stored for some fifty+ years – certainly never played-with!
Occasional little mark only. Intact 20 mph transfer is still in place at the rear wheel arch.
The correct early buff card box has a complete and deeply-coloured paper label. Note the factory-stamped ‘G’ for green on the lid end label. Period pencilled price too. Creasing to one small area of the label. No splits or repairs. Light wear and a little of the usual rusting at staples. Meccano quality control stamp on the box base underside.
