Much more Matchbox for me to get. I only have 4 models in the 1-75 series to get from this catalog. There are a few more in the Yesteryear and King-Size series and the King-Size ones tend to be expensive.
OK on to this catalog. I only scanned 4 of the 40 pages but I think one gets the idea. On the 1-75 series section the original owner has written in some of the models not in his catalog that he owns. On this page it is the 73 it is the 10 ton Pressure Refueler. Last sold in the 1961 catalog so this is someone who had collected for several years. Just about every box is checked. That is about 7 years of collecting which is a long time for a kid.
Picture #3 is the gift set section. These are all winners if you can get them. I have the Fire Station set but I would like the have the others but like dusting not a priority.
Wrapping it up is a page and half from the King Size section. Luckily I have those.
After I get everything (not counting the gift sets) from this catalog I will start on 1966.
Very nice. I noticed the King Sized prices were "king sized" when I was looking at a Dodge Charger on E-Bay.
Thank you very much Toyrebel. I can get a boxed regular sized Matchbox for $20--$3. A loose King Size will go for more than that. Runs into a 3rd digit with a box.
Thank you

Trying to look at past posts of yours and never knew someone here as posted and especially not anyone with over 3 thousand items. I wondered if you still have any or all of the catalogs that you have had. So far this is the only catalog that I have encountered going back and I wondered if you collected or have had any catalogs or particularly Canadian catalogs from like sears or eatons canada ?? Your collection is astonishing to say the least !!~
