Dinky Toys 443 Tanker 'National Benzole'
Tanker 'National Benzole' by Dinky Toys, No. 443. Very near mint/boxed. From The Ground Crew Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1957-58, this Studebaker Tanker has such a vivid all original yellow paint finish with very near perfect – perfect transfers at the sides.
Perfect detailed transfer at the rear. Bright baseplate. Well-shaped smooth original tyres.
A tiny mark at one side which may be possible to remove with careful cleaning, and the faintest of rubs on the roof. None of the usual rubs to the raised silver detail on the roof.
The box is colourful, crisp and complete, although there is a tear at an end flap and a couple of little slits/punctures on the top. Minor wear besides.
A sought-after Dinky commercial, especially in this condition.
