TITLE: Dublo Dinky Toys No 068 Royal Mail Van trade box of six

SOLD FOR: £600.00

BIDS: 15

Vintage Dublo Dinky Toys trade box of six No 068 Royal Mail Vans with windows. In as new condition, as purchased new by someone who worked at the Dinky factory back in the day and has been in their possession ever since until the ebay seller purchased it from them several years ago.

The inner boxes have never been opened until opened to check that they were all good, and that was once only. The box is good but slightly rubbed and slightly coming unstuck along one edge with some old Sellotape marks on it.

TITLE: Dinky Toys No 101 Thunderbirds 2 & 4 gold-plated

SOLD FOR: £499.00

BIDS: 43

A stunning ultra-rare model of the Dinky Toys No 101 Thunderbird 2 in gold-plated finish that will make a fantastic addition to a collection. The model has the yellow legs and the operating pins are also yellow plastic. The central pod drops down as it should and inside, of course, is Thunderbird 4. The yellow plastic Thunderbird 4 is standard issue. Both models come in a high-quality reproduction cardboard plinth with protective vacuum-formed plastic bubble pack top that protects and displays the model superbly.

TITLE: Corgi Toys No 267 Batmobile 1981 release

SOLD FOR: £595.00

BIDS: 20

Rare boxed Corgi Toys later issue No 267 Batmobile and original box from 1981. The model is in original, un-restored, mint condition. All features in full working order, and supplied with original figures. Complete with original window box, with detachable header which is often missing with these examples. The cellophane window itself is original and without holes or splits, very rare to find in this condition, just coming away slightly from the card at the top but nothing drastic. Otherwise absolutely minimal handling wear.
