Dinky Toys 564 Elevator Loader

Notes

Surely every Dinky collector remembers the Elevator Loader! A well-loved Dinky classic this is an early issue made during the mid 1950’s. Bright yellow and mid-blue finish with the original intact supple black rubber conveyor belt (so often these suffer over the years becoming brittle and breaking). Blue metal wheels.
A few small marks to the paint finish. Nice to see that this example comes with the detachable plate which fits at the end of the hopper (often missing). Fine sheen to the paint finish. Winding handle with brass cuff (a little tarnished in one small area due to prolonged contact with the layers of card inner packaging).
Note the black step-plate at the side and the black metal levers too. Well-shped original grey treaded tyres.

Hard to find box version has retained its colour vibrancy. Complete clean paper labels. Light wear includes a small storage crush. . All packing pieces are present i.e. four layers of shaped card and two card supports. Rare to find complete.

This popular models cost typically a whopping 22/4 shillings- at the time, significantly more than the Fodens etc. of the same era.
