Dinky Toys No.60 Aeroplane Gift Set (1st Issue arrangement 1935)
The 60a Imperial Airways Sunray pattern comes in gold & blue with 4 x two blade propellers. Only the most minor marks away from mint.
The 60b DH Leopard Moth comes in green & deep yellow with 1 x two bladed propeller.. Very close to mint just a mere minor chip.
The 60c Percival Gull comes in white & blue with 1 x two bladed propeller. Just some light rubbing to top of fuselage.
The 60d Low Wing Monoplane comes in red & cream with 1 x two bladed propeller. Very close to mint just an odd minor rub
The 60e General Monospar comes in silver & blue 2 x two bladed propellers. Very close to mint just an odd minor rub.

The 'Meccano Dinky Toys' early version box is in excellent shape. A very minor puncture to the face is only just visible, some very light corner wear & age related stain besides. These are negligible as it retains vivid bright colours & has never had any repairs. The lid side label with correct blue colour spot denoting blue Sunray pattern on Atalanta. Also came with red sunray pattern so would be a red spot.
The (200 varieties) mottled pale blue card insert is also in excellent condition. Clean, bright & firm. The original model retaining string has perished over time and has been sympathetically replaced (expected on a set dating from 1934).
