Lledo Model T Ford Van - Prince Edward Island : eBay Guides

There seems to be some confusion over the above van. There are two variations DG006 077a and DG006 077b. Both are liveried as Prince Edward Island with the crest for that province and they are both part of the limited edition 13 piece set Canadian Provincial Series produced by Lledo which was first produced in 1988.

The first of these two models was released showing the incorrect year of 1870 and it wasn't until 1990 that the mistake was rectified by a re-release of the model with the correct year of 1873.

Normally the most collectable of two models would be the one that has been labelled incorrectly, but this seems not to be the case with this model. This could be because of the confusion over which is the correct year. Prince Edward Island joined Canada on July 1, 1873. This was all brought about as a result of Canada agreeing to assume the colony's railway debts and agreeing to finance a buy-out of absentee land owners to free the island of any leasehold tenure.
