Description :

Lot of Early Series Carded Examples (First Releases 1958 & 1959)

A curated lot of vintage Matchbox “Lesney” vehicles, each retained in its original period packaging. These early-series examples feature classic mid‑century graphics, illustrated model art, and hallmark Lesney branding.

The vehicles present cleanly within their original blisters. The plastic and cardboard packaging shows noticeable warping from long-term storage, along with general age‑appropriate wear, but remains intact and legible.

Included in the lot are:

  • Matchbox Series No. 59Blue Land Rover with boat trailer on “Metal Scale Models” card. The No. 59 series first entered production in 1958.

  • Matchbox No. 69Blue boat with illustrated card art. The No. 69 series first appeared in the 1959 lineup.

  • Assorted early-series card backswith Fred Bronner Corporation distribution details and model lists

A display-worthy grouping from the formative Lesney era, appealing to collectors of early Matchbox production, vintage toys, and original packaging examples.
