Notes
A classic sought-after Dinky Studebaker Tanker (early issue 1954-58) with a vibrant, beautiful original paint finish:
Just a little minor wear to the ‘Mobilgas’ lettering. Intact logo at the rear. One mark to one of the silver domes on the roof (usually found more rubbed than this). and a couple of negligible dots besides.
Bright baseplate.
It is presented in the scarce dual-numbered box which is complete, clean and vibrantly coloured with no graffiti. This box marks the transition from 30P to this later numbering 440 which happened during 1954.
