Dinky Toys - Model machinery - Dinky Toys 564 Elevator Loader

Dinky Toys no. 564 Elevator Loader – Barber-Greene Olding – Original complete box + inserts
Very nice specimen of the mythical Elevator Loader Dinky Toys no. 564 (first numbering), manufactured in England by Meccano in the 1950s.
Model condition:
Very good overall condition. Yellow and blue paint well preserved, with a beautiful uniform patina of use and some very light signs of aging. All movable parts are present and functional:
- Upper orientable chute
- Lower hopper lift
- Drive handwheel present
The rubber belt is present and in place. It turns (moderately and patina a bit) with the handwheel; it shows a slight normal patina due to its age but remains supple and operational.
Box and packing:
Original complete box, blue and white striped characteristic, with label “DINKY TOYS – 564 – ELEVATOR LOADER”. The box shows normal signs of aging (light edge and surface wear) but remains solid and clearly legible.
The original internal spacers are present.
Complete model, unrestored, in its original condition. A very beautiful example of this highly sought-after Supertoy.
Ideal for a 1950s Dinky Toys collector.
