NEW YEARS DAY FUN! LIVE AUCTION - SIMULCAST TOO! ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES ONLY
Lot 159:
Description
The lot consists of a collection of five die-cast metal and plastic model vehicles from the Matchbox Originals series. These models are marketed as “Authentic Recreations of Matchbox Early Vehicles, ” based on the original 1950s Moko Lesney products. Each vehicle is individually sealed in a clear blister pack attached to a characteristic yellow cardboard backing card labeled “Limited Edition” and “Authentic Collector Box.” The packaging prominently displays the branding “A Moko Lesney Product.” The five models included are the No. 1 Road Roller (blue), No. 4 Massey Harris Tractor (green), No. 5 London Bus (red), No. 7 Horse-Drawn Milk Float (blue/brown), and No. 9 Fire Engine (red). The reverse of the packaging confirms the historical context of the Moko trademark and carries a copyright date of 1992, identifying these as early 1990s re-releases. Visible commercial price stickers marked “$247” are present on the cards.
