At time stamp 0:16 you don't know how rare the Fire Station MF-1 and Service Station MG-1 are complete! $400 at least a piece. Add more for the original boxes too! The first Matchbox car case with the four plastic crates I still have no less! Before that they came with cardboard dividers,yuck. Once had the Build a Road set too.Thanks for sharing the memories of 1968,when I was a wee lad.

Wow $3 new and now $400. The Superkings K20 Ford D series winch semi trailer with the 3 orange #39 tractors, factory, hard hat and battery powered driver tool to operate the trailer winch. A rare Superfast which also goes for big money, if complete. Bit of a shame that the trailer was no longer detachable from the tractor.

My Grandmother worked at a department store back in the late 60’s-early 70’s. I always received Matchbox cars for Christmas and birthdays. As an adult, maybe 20 years ago, she gave me a small stack of these. I have them put away somewhere, but I seem to recall they span from 68 or 69 up to 76 or so. It’s been a while, so I may be wrong... But thanks for sharing yours, and inspiring me to go find mine!

Wow, that 1967 catalog at the beginning there sure took me way back. My dad had that exact catalog along with some of the cars featured it in as well as the one you showed and I have very fond memories of him showing them to me as a kid. I was impressed with how high quality the models were despite being older compared to the newer hotwheels I had at the time which seemed much more cheaper in quality and mass produced. Unfortunately, my dad passed several years ago but this brought back happy memories of him showing me his childhood. Also reminds me that he kept all of it in this wooden box in our garage which should still be there as we've been completely cleaning out the place so I'll be sure to save it ASAP.

Wow! you really have a lot of catalogs! The artist continues to like kids who wear ties - he had one toting the match box carrying case. The end section that discusses zinc mining and processing and paint production suggests that the makers of Matchbox knew then that they actually had two markets. There were actual kids who played with the toys, but there was also an adult market that appreciated them as models and miniatures. Great video!

@DrWhom5 жыл бұрын
The medium is gouache and this style of illustration (artistic but precise & unassuming) used to be nigh-on ubiquitous before CGI and digital retouching/colour correction of photography became commonplace. It is sometimes referred to as "movie-poster" style (accordingly, gouache is also known as "poster paint"). British comics of the day were done in this style (e.g. Roy of the Rovers, Dan Dare, Trigan Empire) as well as book covers, which are just small movie posters.

Yup, some things were much better in the past. Us children in the 1960's weren't treated like morons. I was five in 1968, and, like most children of my age, (although I could read and write at three and a half) had no problem reading the catalogue. A lot of things were like this. Dinky, Corgi, Britains, and Airfix all produced beautiful catalogues. They were something you looked forward to each year.

A Google search for "Matchbox Spare Parts" will find many sellers of parts for Matchbox. It's quite the thriving Cottage Industry. There are sellers in: Australia, UK, USA, Canada and Holland that I have purchased from. Most parts available are for the earlier Regular Wheels type Matchbox, up to 1969 production. The Lion for the Wildlife Truck is not available, as far as I know. You can get the window unit, and the clear plastic dome for the load bed, as these were used on earlier Regular Wheels Ford F100's.
