Marvin's Marvelous Magical Matchbox Monday Models of Yestery Year Y-9 Fowler Big Lion Showman Engine 1958

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.
