British made Lesney Matchbox toys 1953-70
|
Welcome to our world of Moko Lesney's Matchbox series which is dedicated to British made small scale diecast toy vehicles made before 1970, Our main interests are the pre Superfast Matchbox toys of the 1-75 series made by Moko Lesney but we also have sections on other ranges by Lesney including the early Lesney toys, the Accessory and Major pack series & the MG1 Service Stations and a small section on the Models of Yesteryear range. We also have photo guides on other small scale toys made in the north London area before 1970. To find out the values of your models we now have a 1-75 series model price guide and a Giftset price guide for which we have to thank Vectis for permission to use their past auctions catalog for details and photos, Also see our new section on Matchbox advertising. If you have any unusual 1-75's that you think should be listed here please contact us |
