Notes
We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection. Some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.
Every Dinky collector should have a ‘Dinky Toys’ Van in the collection! This is an all original example of one of the most popular Dinky models issued between 1956-60. Fresh and shining lemon and orange paint finish with lemon wheels. “DINKY TOYS” lettering has a somewhat ‘speckled’ finish on one side, less so on the other side.



There are a couple of faint scratches on the roof as well as a small casting mark head-on. Some wear to the baseplate. Obviously unplayed-with, there are no chips in the expected areas (or unexpected!).
The pictorial box is complete, with plenty of spring in the end flaps. Some age grubbiness -mostly one the underside.
