This model is the Jordan & Lewden (River Series) Army Covered Lorry in Olive.
This simplistic casting is of a forward control lorry with detail cast into the body including the grille, the doors and handles, the body lines, front bumper and headlights. This is the first body casting with 10 lines cast into the lower grille area. The casting is in two parts, the main body and cab casting and the rear tray casting. A tinplate rear canopy slides into the rear tray to complete the model body.
There is no interior or glazing.
There is no base plate. The under side of the cab roof of this model is not marked "Made in England" on two lines as on some models. It is devoid of all other marking or casting detail apart from the pillars that hold the axles in place. At the rear three cast metal rivets hold the rear body tray in place.
All wheels comprise a single piece, solid metal hub and tyre shape. They have been pressure fitted to the steel axles. The cast pillars are pinch crimped to hold the axles in place.
This model was issued in the 1950s, possibly circa 1953.
