Great collection. Every model is worthy of its own post.
What is the mystery you would like solved?
Thank you very much. I will post better more detailed photos tomorrow when I have my more appropriate camera. :)
The mystery I need solved is how do you know when the cars were made (the models themselves) as I know there are dates on all of the boxes but this is from the date the car was produced not the toy itself. Some I know of because of engravings on the bottom however some are unknown :/ I am creating a book of all of them and information behind them all so would like to know all the dates!
I also have the 1st matchbox steamroller toy with no driver and red painted wheels. Which I will post a more detailed photograph of tomorrow.
Thanks, kind regards
Becky.
Your Models of Yesteryear in the yellow and pink boxes are 1968-1969.
The two boxes that say "Moko Lesney" are 1955 -1959.
Your two Yesteryears in the upper left corner not quite sure but probably late 50s/early 60s.
Your other Yesteryears are post 1970 and currently I don't have a handy source to look them up.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much that information is really appreciated and thanks again for taking your time to look. Unfortunately I have suffered a panic attack today so won't be posting photos of the whole collection up close until tomorrow now. I hope you will enjoy looking at them. They will be worth looking at as will have a very high quality and definition.
Kind regards,
Becky.
