The collection includes a Dinky Toys No. 660 Thornycroft Mighty Antar Tank Transporter finished in military olive green, featuring a detachable semi-trailer with functioning fold-down rear ramps and a tractor unit with a mounted spare wheel. Also included is a Dinky Supertoys No. 955 Fire Engine with Extending Ladder, featuring a red body and a silver-painted metal rotating and extending ladder assembly. The third item is a military truck attributed to Dinky Toys No. 622 10-Ton Army Truck, finished in olive green with a flatbed body and plastic hubs. Two original cardboard boxes are present: a yellow and blue illustrated box for the Tank Transporter and a blue and white striped box for the Fire Engine. The boxes carry the manufacturer markings for Meccano Ltd and were made in England.
Tank Transporter length: approximately 29 cm
Fire Engine length: approximately 16.5 cm

The No. 955 Fire Engine shows scattered chips and scuffs to the red paintwork; the ladder mechanism remains functional, while the box shows structural softening, creasing, and shelf wear. The unboxed military truck shows moderate paint loss and chips, particularly to the flatbed edges, and is missing its original tin-plate canopy. No third-party grading is present.
