Dinky Toys 25F Market Gardener's Van 1934

From the early years of production, this lovely example of the Market gardener's van has got the very first tin radiator grille type.

Introduced in 1934 the model shown here could be from 1935 as it's fitted with blue smooth hubs, the first issues having the Tootsietoys style hubs this one might be a later first type issue.

I got both at the same period last autumn. First the black hubs one which I acquired from an eighty years old english boy on the  internet. This used to be one of the best pieces of his collection. And... indeed, it's a very nice one, really fresh with hardly minor scuffs. The decals are intact and despite a part of the hook missing and a small crack at the cabin, it's free of any fatigue...
