The Matchbox Originals represent a fine reproduction of Lesney Products. The trade-mark "MOKO" was adopted by 1948 and the first toy--a road roller--was produced followed by others. In 1953, stimulated by the success of the miniature Coronation Coach, Lesney decided to scale down their larger toys to a miniature range. They were packed in a small box the color and shape of a match box--thus the "MATCHBOX SERIES" was born. The vehicles include in this recreation five-pack are: * No. 1: Aveling Barford Road Roller (original Lesney version released in 1953) * No. 4: Massey Harris Tractor (original Lesney version released in 1953) * No. 5: The London Bus (original Lesney version released in 1954) * No. 7: Horse-Drawn Milk Float (original Lesney version released in 1954) * No. 9: 1948 Dennis F.2 Fire Engine (original Lesney version released in 1955)

Long time matchbox collector
I collect the original matchbox from the 50's and 60's and already have these recreations in single blister pack but had to have this set in one pack.
