    The Fordson Major Tractor was made from 1959 through 1966. The B style box was used from 1954 through 1960. Thus this model would be from 1959 or 1960. It is the last version of the box with the model number and name on the box end. That was helpful for the guys in the toy store who had to pick the model from under the counter. Matchbox cars were usually kept behind the counter as they were small.
    This model has a painted radiator grill. With later models if there were to be different colors it would be a separately molded piece. Headlights, grills and bumpers would be part of the base.
    B style boxes are hard to find in the wild but I have actually found three of late as seen in the last photo. No luck in finding Matchbox models today so there may be a tractor fest next week.
