Tim, you might try typing-in something like this and see what comes up. I had a look at some of the products and there are cases for the average Corgi, Dinky sized model, but not a lot for the smaller Matchbox sized model, but as I said, I looked at some, not all of them!

This type of clear case is probably what "Tim" is looking for, the type used by 'WIKING' and a dealer at past Sandown Park toy fair, has something very similar to these but bigger, as he keeps lose Matchbox models in them. If I see him again at the next toy fair, I'll ask him where he gets them from.

If it's small plastic boxes for displaying individual Matchbox sized models in the I'd think either the Oxford Diecast 'N' scale boxes or the 'Classix' boxes would be good, thousands of them must get binned every year. I'm sure I've seen them auctioned on ebay occasionally.

Tim,

I have used this Honk Kong based seller for some time without any hitch and despite being on the other side of the world to me, anything i buy has arrived within a week. Great service and relatively cheap depending on the box size. They sell boxes in a variety of different sizes. I can recommend them. :D

just click on this link to take you to one of their box listing on e bay mate.

Nice find Alex, they look very much like the ones I saw being used by a dealer at Sandown Park toy fair and perfect for the job and if Tim wants this size, problem solved.
