Dinky Post-War Light Commercials

POST-WAR DINKY COMMERCIALS

PAGE LAST UPDATED:30 December 2011

This is a very small selection of the lorries and commercials available from Dinky in the Forties & Fifties. This is a deep pool to get into as a collector and to put a definitive collection together would cost a fortune and take a lifetime.

I've been through the Great Book of Dinky and hand picked my favourites as listed below.
