It's all here! Pictured and listed in this massive volume, now in
its fourth edition, are fifty-four years' worth of toys produced
between Matchbox's founding in 1947, and 2001, including their
popular diecast vehicles, playsets, dolls, plastic kits, robots,
and ephemera. The international scope of Matchbox toys is
illustrated in catalogs and on boxes and labels printed in a dozen
languages. Certain toys have been made for sale in specific
countries or to promote specific companies or products. In 1982 the
international numbering system on miniatures changed. The result of
all these variables is a fascinating and infinite variety of
Matchbox toys. In the largest volume about Matchbox Toys ever
published, 2,447 color photos illustrate nearly all of Matchbox's
vast line. Helpful captions and a price guide make this an
essential part of every collector's library.
Matchbox vehicles, from cars and trucks to tractors and trailers,
produced in series 1 through 75 from 1953 to 1969, are presented
here in both detailed text listings and over 370 color images.
Variations of each vehicle manufactured are detailed, including the
many different kinds of box styles used throughout this period.
This revised 2nd Edition includes an updated price list for the
Matchbox vehicles presented and their variations listed throughout
the text. A great resource for collectors.
When Mattel's Hotwheels toy cars exploded onto the market in 1968,
venerable Matchbox Toys met the challenge with its Superfast line.
The successful result is now presented in the largest book on
Matchbox Toys ever produced - so big it is two volumes that
celebrate 35 years of Matchbox Superfast production with over 7000
color photos and over 10,000 listed variations! The detailed,
beautiful photographs are a great assistance to collectors for
identification and color reference. The Variation Listings, found
in Volume 1, are arranged alpha-numerically by product numbers,
making location and cross-referencing easy. Photos are arranged by
major product lines, with Basic Models in Volume1, and everything
else from Adventure Pack to White Rose Collectibles arranged
alphabetically in Volume 2. Superfast models from late 2004 and
early 2005 also appear in Volume 2. Each photo includes the product
number and name for easy reference to the Variation Listings. To
further aid in identification there are helpful indexes by MAN
number and model names (actual base names), as well as a general
alphabetical index. The model variations have current market prices
for each variation. Taken together, these two great books are a
must for Matchbox collectors everywhere, a monumental effort by one
of the world's greatest authorities! Volume 1: Over 2050 Color
