Dinky Toys 504 Foden 12-Ton Tanker
Foden 14-Ton Tanker by Dinky Toys, No. 504. Two-tone blue with blue flash. 1st Type. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce deep green box with paper label. From The Hastings Collection.
Notes
1st type issue, made between 1948-52. Shining two-tone blue paint finish with a light blue flash and fine tread radial tyres (well-shaped). Presents well:
Well-shaped tinplate tank.
Shows minimal handling, retaining a fine lustre to the vibrant two-tone finish.
Have to hunt for a mark to the paint. Axles are rather tarnished.
Green card picture box has a very nearly complete paper label. Minor wear, still a sound box – and quite a difficult find!
