Atlas Dinky Toys No. 33AN Simca Cargo Moving Van
The Bailly Atlas Dinky Toys No. 33AN Simca Cargo Removal Van is a faithful reissue of the original Dinky Toys model from the 1950s. This model is based on the Simca Cargo, a robust truck used for transport and removals at the time. The specific version in this set bears the colours and logo of the French removal company Bailly, a well-known face in the transport industry at the time.
Dinky Toys, founded in 1934 by Meccano Ltd., was a pioneer in the production of detailed metal miniature vehicles. The company produced a wide range of models, ranging from cars and trucks to trains and planes. The Bailly Simca Cargo Removal Van was released as part of Dinky's commercial line, which reproduced real commercial vehicles in miniature form. This model was popular for its realistic appearance, with the recognisable colours and logos of Bailly, a trusted transport company in France.
This Atlas Dinky Toys No. 33AN reissue offers an authentic reproduction of the original model. The set comes in mint condition, complete with the original Dutch brochure, a certificate of authenticity, and the classic Dinky box. The meticulous detailing, from the finish of the loading platform to the paintwork and Bailly logo, makes this reissue a must-have for collectors.
This model combines the nostalgia of the original Dinky Toys with the history of an important French removal company, Bailly. The set, including the box and certificate, is a valuable asset for Dinky enthusiasts and collectors of historical miniature vehicles.
