Britains Farm Models – hard to find paint variant of H2229 Collie Dog, standing, with unusual hand-painted DARK TAN eggshell markings (compare with the standard light tan paint version which we are also including) – dating to circa 1958 these models are in Good to Very Good used condition for age, with some paint loss and wear – [one theory is that in 1957 when Britains produced their ‘unbreakable’ range of plastic farm models from the old lead moulds the Collie Dog was first issued with brown/dark tan paint, before later being changed to the more familiar lighter tan].
