Hi,
here is my newest addition:

Accessory Pack A1(b) BP Pumps + Sign.
It's the pure white issue and the BP Sign has a label instead of a decal, which is an update for me.
These are my first lamps :)
Box is in better condition than my example I had before.

Greetings,
Linus

Nice find Linus, The BP pumps are fairly common but very hard to find mint and boxed and complete with all of the plastic components

Hi,
thank you all for you kind comments. It's very nice to know that there is this group of people here thats interested in this hobby. In my age there aren't a lot of them :)
The BP pumps are fairly common but very hard to find mint and boxed and complete with all of the plastic components
That's what I noticed, too. There are a few on Ebay but mainly without box and plastic parts..and often in bad condition, too. I can calm you, that isn't one of Hardy's "Buy it now" listings :!: :D

I'am not sure wether it looks better in pure white or cream white. I think pure white is realistically.
All in all it has a nice place in my showcase.

Thanks again and greetings around the World,

Linus

Danke Mathias!

You may noticed that I'am a big fan of all what Lesney produced next to Regular wheels and Superfasts, e.g. Major Packs, King Size, Service Stations, cases...
Today one of my latest purchases arrived:

Seven Matchbox (Acryl-) Displays.
There is a cool fact about these: On the one hand it's a collectible on the other hand it helps a lot, displaying your models :)
But I wish someone could give me some real facts: Were they made for the USA marked only? (Fred Bronner cooperation)

Greetings,
Linus

Hello Linus.

I can not check this, because I lost all my files and information recently, but they look similar to an interlocking clear case system offered around 1968-69, in the U.S. and possibly offered or marketed by Fred Bronner.

That are bad news. I'am sorry for you :cry:

Yes, you are able to interlock them in all directions.
