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 He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days.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.
What a delightful example this is with such a lustrous paint finish and very close to perfect perfect detailed transfers on both sides. This Studebaker Tanker is sure to become a favourite in your collection!



Early issue bright baseplate:

A few small marks only that barely detract and a couple of the faintest rubs to the silver filler caps detail on the roof. Faint rub on the cab roof.
A day-one glowing paint finish on this desirable Dinky tanker.
