Notes

Issued between 1949-54 in various colour finishes, this version in bright violet blue and deep orange-yellow with red ridged Supertoy wheels is not an easy find in this condition. An eye-catching, lustre to the original paint finish, and typical of items from this collection in the Netherlands.

Bright baseplate too:

D531x4063

With none of the usual chipping at the yellow stake back – just a couple of small marks at a back edge corner of the cab roof and a miniscule dot or two at a couple of wheel arches.
The sheen throughout shows that this truck has been very carefully handled and stored – the paint has lost none of its lustre.
The early deep blue box with a picture label is vividly-coloured and complete. Small area of surface loss to the paper label on the box face. Original period inked prices on the lid too and another at the box lid end. Minor wear besides.
Issued between 1949-54.
