The original Pickfords removals van

I recently had the chance of buying a very rare original Pickfords van... 

Introduced in early 1935, available by june but discontinued in the early weeks of 1936, the reference 28b Pickfords van was soon replaced by the new 28b Seccotine van. Available in february 1936 the Seccotine van stood until the third casting in 1939...

Made during less than a year, the Pickfords van is therefore a very rare one and finding one in such good condition seems to be a miracle. This one has the outstanding pre war Dinky toys royal blue smooth hubs, which I fancy a lot.





This picture to show that removals was considered as a real job at Pickfords !


And this one just in case you were looking for something completely different and havebeen driven to this page accidentally...
