Collectible Matchbox Toy Cars and Vehicles by Moko Lesney

The toys were produced in the 1950's and 1960's and were aimed at children who had pocket money to spend and wanted to collect something they could also play with.

They were produced in the UK and were sold in toy shops in attractive boxes. They were bought in their thousands and many were treasured and kept in near-pristine condition.
