Notes
This classic Dinky toy was made between 1952-54. In all original condition, this Commer Fire Engine has a bright red finish (no sunfading) with a silver extending ladder and both shining bells on the roof. Well-shaped black original tyres.
The silver ladders presents well (often found with significant marking, Happily not so, in this case).
The deep blue Dinky Toys box has strong colours on intact card. No fading and that includes the portion at the sides not covered by the lid. Complete and bright paper label too. Light wear.
