Notes
A classic Dinky military model first made in 1954. This Centurion Tank model has a barely handled matt military green finish, complete with intact original tracks, markings, and a swivelling turret with a straight gun.
Very near mint.
The striped ‘DINKY TOYS’ box (with upright, not italicised) print is close to shop-fresh. Particularly noteworthy is the deep blue base which is day-one vibrant. Clean and fresh throughout. Faint storage crease and a neatly penned date fo purchase we assume on the lid. Dated 1954 by the Dinky stamp on the inside fo the box lid.
