Atlas Dinky Toys 33C Simca Miroitier Cargo

The Atlas Dinky Toys 33C Simca Miroitier Cargo by Saint Gobain is an impressive reissue of a classic Dinky Toys model that dates back to the 1950s. This particular model is based on the Simca Cargo, a versatile lorry often used to transport glass and other delicate goods. The addition of the logo of Saint Gobain, a leading French manufacturer of glass and building materials, makes this model particularly relevant to the history of lorry transport in France.

Dinky Toys was founded in 1934 by Meccano Ltd. and quickly became one of the most recognisable brands of die-cast metal vehicles. The models were renowned for their detailed designs and robust construction, making them popular with children and collectors around the world. The Simca Cargo was a popular lorry in France and was used in a variety of sectors, from construction to logistics.

The Simca Miroitier Cargo was specifically designed to safely transport delicate loads such as glass. The model features a load bed with protective sides, which was essential for transporting materials from Saint Gobain. These trucks were a regular sight on the streets of France, providing a reliable link between manufacturers and customers. The Dinky Toys-style Miroitier Cargo design reflects the technological advances and attention to detail that were typical of trucks of the era.

This particular reissue of the Atlas Dinky Toys 33C Simca Miroitier Cargo is offered in mint condition, complete with an original French-language brochure, a certificate of authenticity, and the iconic box. The brochure provides a detailed explanation of the history and features of the model, while the certificate confirms the authenticity of this reissue.

The Saint Gobain Simca Miroitier Cargo is not only a beautiful example of the Dinky Toys line, but also a valuable collector's item due to its connection to a well-known brand in the glass industry. The combination of the original packaging, brochure, and certificate makes this reissue particularly attractive to collectors. A must-have for Dinky Toys enthusiasts, this model offers a unique insight into the rich history of trucks and transport in France.
