Dinky Toys 465 Morris Commercial Van "CAPSTAN"
Morris Commercial Van "CAPSTAN" by Dinky Toys, No. 465. Very near mint/boxed. From The Ground Crew Collection.
Notes
Issued during 1959 only, this is one of the harder-to-find advertising vans made by Dinky during this period. This Morris van has a pleasing original finish in two-tone blue with mid-blue wheels. The distinctive “Have a Capstan” transfers are virtually complete on one side, complete on the other.
Bright base (very small dulled area) and the smooth original tyres are well-shaped.
The pictorial card box is complete, clean and bright, showing a little age wear/handling wear. Note the period shop stamp on an end flap.
