French Dinky 586
French Dinky 586 Citroen 55 Milk Lorry. Mid-blue & white issue. Near mint/boxed. Complete with all 30 milk crates. Scarce. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961-65, this sought-after French Dinky Citroen model is in close to mint condition with a fresh light blue and white paint finish, blue metal wheels, suspension and window glazing. Looking as-new original tyres and a shiny baseplate. All metal parts, including axle ends, are shiny. Comes with the full complement of 30 little plastic milk crates.
Note the remnants of the original tape which kept the crates in situ on the underside of the truck.
So prone to chipping this model has a chip at an exposed edge. Close inspection finds a couple of small touch-ins.
The attractive blue and yellow picture box is clean, bright and split-free. Very light age/handling wear only.
