THE REAL DINKY SNORKEL: BILL EV'S 1965 FIRE ENGINE

Hi Woodsy


Here's a photo of a 1965 (I think) Dinky from my collection. My godmother bought my first one in 1968, but this was played with literally to bits.

A couple of years ago I managed to track this identical one down, complete with mint box and leaflet.

We even had a real.one of these at our main fire station. It was absolutely huge!

PS. Yours looks like the American version.

  1. My Mother would make a semi annual trip to Pennsylvania to buy our family clothes at a discount. On one trip she brought this one back with her as a surprise. The play value on it was amazing.

    1. Judt like with the real.one, the support struts were really needed, without the it would top over. It had absolutely amazing play value.
