French Dinky Toys 897 Willeme Log Carrier Truck

Notes

A lovely unused example, finished in a lighter orange shade and deep yellow. Note the pierced detailing of the beam beneath the logs (later issues unpierced). Note the painted concave wheels throughout. Very few minor marks. Presents well with day-one fresh colours, bright metal parts and well-shaped, original black radial tyres, including the spare. Complete with the log load, too.

This version has the pierced detailing at the beam beneath the logs.
Colourful and complete later box with 897 numbering. Light wear. With Dinky Quality Control stamp on the inside of the box lid.
