'E' BOX NOTES...jpg
It seems to be catching! This is from 'Pat's Matchboxes on-line' page and surely these are 'E' Boxes, not 'F' boxes, unless I have got it all wrong! if so, somebody help me!

Ghosty.
They are "E" boxes as far as I am aware, Ghosty.

I don't have MBox75's one but here is the earlier F1 box for the Case Tractor
with "A Lesney Product" across the bottom of the face and "New Model" on the end flap
for comparison

Ghostie the box types are listed in the same order as the Stannard lists them, I'm pretty sure they are in the correct order.
I also have the f4 and f5 boxes omitted, I should be able to rectify this pretty soon.

Hello Mathias.
I too have this box in my collection.
(see photo).
Found 2-3 years ago, had with Pat on this discussion.
He said: Mike you have new box found!
Was taken in Pat's side.
(to see the time in the old forum)

Greetings Mike :D

Ghostie opens a can of worms!.
So I thought I would add the F4 and F5 boxes to my site, I don't have either so I was trawling through here to find a couple of suitable pictures.
Then I checked the pictures I already had.
Stannard lists them like this

F1 'series' printed in blue # box, ALP (a lesney product)
F2 'series' printed under matchbox, ALP (a lesney product )
F3 'series' printed under matchbox, LPC (lesney products co ltd london england)
F4 'series' printed under matchbox, MITR (matchbox is the reg'd tm of lesney products co ltd london england)
F5 'series' printed under matchbox, MRT (matchbox reg'd tm lesney products london england)

Now I have just noticed that I have an F1 but with MRT pictured on my site which is not listed in the stannard.
Are there any more unlisted F1's out there?

Hello Nick.
Is Pat still active in his:
Pat's info box 1-75.
I have long received any reply from Pat?

I also found 2 years ago this box.
Pat was still active, and placed it in his website.

since then no longer receive messages.
