Absolutely incredible. It's going to take me weeks (if not months) to read all these, but worth every minute!

Thank you Christian, for putting up these rare historical documents for us all to share.

Best wishes,
Ken

Thanks you very much Christian for the posting all of these. It must have been a massive task!

One thing struck me - we often go back to early material for 'facts' about our hobby, but you really do have to be careful. In Vol 3, Issue 3 (from 1968) there is an article about the different types of boxes and it categorically states that the A (script) box was issued for the first 12 models. If that's the case script boxes for the models 8 through 12 much be the rarest Matchbox items of all! :)

P.S. I don't think I'll be spending much time searching for them.
