Was on vacation last week and picked up a few goodies. This is rather old for a Matchbox model as it is from 1968. It is a steam tractor that would be used for a circus or some such. It is just a fancy version of a steam tractor that would be used at a farm or factory. You can read all about it by checking out the last photo.
This model was released in 1958 and sold through 1967. It is a rather intricate model for one so early, also a bit on the large side for a model of that time. This box is an early A type and only used the first year making it clear it is from 1958. The end flap has a black 9 on a dark blue background which is very hard to see. The model number was made easier to see in later years.
Got an exciting Taxidermy Tuesday coming up so stay tuned.
Fantastic design!
