Summary
An orange plastic clockwork Minic Cat dumper truck,(circa 1950 to circa 1959). The hopper is hinged just above the large rear wheels. All four wheels are made from black rubber, and the housing for the clockwork mechanism is made from black plastic. The key, which projects from the left side, is of silver-coloured metal. There is a small rusty steering wheel attached to a post at the front right-hand edge of the vehicle. It is quite dirty and has been scribbled on.
Marks and inscriptions
At the rear edge of chassis: 'TRI ANG/ MINIC TOYS' On the underside of the mechanism housing: 'MADE IN ENGLAND'
