61b Wreck Truck Who Knows What it Is?

[kmc500]

Here is the third model I found in the same custom open wooden display box (along with another 21 normal superfast models I think).

This is a 61B Wreck Truck in a cream color with painted base. If you all need a better picture let me know.






Thanks for filling me in on this one too. (I am planning a bonfire later today! )

The rivet on your White one looks like an after-market replacement, which you buy in packets of a Dozen or so.

Yes, there is an Olde England 'By-Law' saying it is against the Law to burn Matchbox models, in the open between 8.00 am in the morning and 21.00 pm in the evening, unless accompanied by Five Adults of consenting Age.

Of course if the base plate states "Made in Bulgaria" then i would suggest you get an acetelyne torch and open up the gas cylinder to full and light up the mofo!!!!!

I basically inherited a pretty large collection of regular wheels, SF, King SIze, SuperKings, SpeedKings, and a bunch of Macau blisters. As I said in my original post, I found these three in a custom made box among a number of normal superfast models. Since I of course know the original collector, I am very surprised to find them. He did do a fair bit of buying at flea markets along with his regular toy store purchasing back in the day - that must be where these came from. He was very handy, but I cannot imagine him repainting these. He was also fairly tight with a dollar, so I cannot imagine him paying a bunch of money for them either.

He left some notes - I will re-check them and see if these three are mentioned.

You can be sure they won't find their way onto eBay now (although it was considered and was the reason I took the pictures and presented them here first).

On my cell phone so I can't blow up the rivet picture but, whenever I see an all white model my first thought is the Graffic Traffic series. Perhaps someone who knows which models the series offered can help out with that possibility
