A MOST IMPORTANT AND RARE PANEL TRUCK BY VINDEX.

A MOST IMPORTANT AND RARE PANEL TRUCK BY VINDEX. According to one of the nation’s foremost authorities on automotive cast iron toys, Dick Ford, this toy is one of two known to exist and this being the only all original example! Purchased several years ago from an antique dealer in Illinois, this toy came fresh to the market and was purported to have been owned by a former employee of the Vindex Toy Co. The side panels are embossed “RAPID DELIVERY”. It retains its original Vindex decal on the driver`s door, dual side mounted spare tires, and a rear flip-up door. Cast aside any thoughts of this toy being a variation of the Arcade White Panel Truck. It is truly a Vindex. The truck being enameled in forest green, trimmed in gold and silver, nickel-plated wheels and “WHITE” embossed on the front grille. The toy is in “as found” condition never having been cleaned, polished or even dusted off!! Due to the great rarity of this piece and that one has never been sold publicly a wide estimate is being given. This toy is being sold unreserved as the low end of the estimate implies; the upper end of the estimate is simply a reflection of where we feel its condition and rarity could take it. SIZE: 8 3/8” l. CONDITION: Very fine original condition with overall uniform wear. JL 1-4541 (10,000-45,000)
