Thanks very much, I'm going to do the same with my MOY collection.

Thanks very much!

Hi all, Does anyone know of any contacts or links to web sites in Canada to buy or trade? I am only interested in the early years up to 1970 and I've only been able to buy from eBay and the prices are getting hard to take. I have gone to some of the Toy Shows locally but hardly ever find the older M...

I'm new to Matchbox collecting, have almost all the 1-75 series from 1960's, most 1965-1966 years. Can anyone direct me to a good reference for Lesney Matchbox collecting? I tried to order "The Definitive Guide to Matchbox toys" by John Houghton but can't find it anywhere. Also heard of th...

Thanks very much for all the excellent info and web sites, this will help a lot!

I'm from Hamilton Ontario area. I've looked on Kijiji and there's never any good quality Matchbox items there. I went to a Collectors show in London, Ontario a year or so back and found some in boxes that I bought but haven't found anything since. Let me know if you have any links or other shows tha...

I sometimes see some on Kijiji but not in the shape that I'm looking for. I'll have to get my nose working and try the sniff test on my boxes. Will also look at t...

So I'll stick to getting all E1 to E3 boxes for my 1966 lineup. Krawkers, your story from your youth is very interesting, I was 1 years old in 1966 and when we bought a Matchbox toy (which was 1 a week) we never thought of keeping the boxes and played with them until we grew out of that stage, never...

Hello all, I have just recently joined this forum hoping to get more information on the Matchbox line from the 60's. As probably most of you, when I was young my weekly reward was to buy a Matchbox toy from Sears here in Canada. These have all unfortunately disappeared but now in my early 60's, I've...

Thanks very much for all the information, that is a great list that I can use as a reference, although I realize that these dates may not be exactly the same for me as I live in Canada and when I was a kid, my Matchbox were all bought from Sears here in Ontario. Another question - I've also been loo...
