Dinky 917
Dinky 917 Mercedes-Benz Truck & Trailer. Very near mint (with both wing mirrors)/boxed, with packing sponge. From the personal collection of a professional TV & Film Set Designer.
Notes
A Dinky heavyweight two piece set made between 1968-74. A shining mid-blue and yellow finish on both items, complete with white detachable tilts. Truck has a white roof and red interior. Jewelled headlights and number plates (front and rear). Nice to see that both wing mirrors are present and intact.
Just a couple of very small wheel arch chips (if you hunt for them!).
The detailed card sleeve is clean, crisp, complete and bright, although there is some ruffling/tearing at wheel slots (this is a heavy item!).
The all card outer box is complete and bright. One end flap has a tear. Minor wear/grubbiness besides. Packing sponge included.
