You are bidding on the Dinky 917-G-1 Guy Otter Van in Red and Cream "Spratts" livery.

The model features a red cast metal cab and chassis with a separate cream tin rear body with opening doors and black tin base. The grill and headlights are picked out in silver paint and there is no glazing in the windows. The rear body is cream with the Spratts logo (a stylised Scottish Terrier composed of the word Spratts) and one thin and one thick red stripe at the bottom of each side separated by a cream stripe with the words "Spratt's Bonio. Ovals & Dog Cakes".

All wheels are black rubber with red "Supertoy" hubs. There is a spare wheel on the chassis.

This model was issued between 1955 and 1956.

Condition: Very Good, some wear to side decals as shown in photo, some chipping as shown in photo, all original - "driver's" side rear tyre is flat in photos (but what would you expect on a 60 year old toy?) - now replaced with reproduction tyre as it fell apart.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the large numbers of post auction requests for offers or relistingn auctions that failed to attract any bids, I have found it necessary to place this disclaimer in my auction listings.

My policy is "NO BID - NO OFFER". Offers will only be made to active bidders. Please do not request an offer or relist, even if you miss an auction, as they will be ignored.

Shipping costs are kept to a minimum and only the cost of shipping is charged. With the exception of small books, I make no additional charge for packing, packaging materials, wrapping tape, etc., so please don't ask for a reduction in shipping costs below the figure quoted. I will always combine shipping where possible and you will receive an invoice taking this into account. I do not ship "FREE" unless stated in the auction.
