Not sure which area I should post this so if someone wants to shift it feel free to do so.
It will cover many different items all with a New Zealand connection. I'll just keep adding bits as I come across them. Enjoy!

Now we have a Matchbox Catalogues thread, I think we should include such items as those shown above and just slightly change the title to 'Matchbox Catalogues and Ephemera'.

One for Ghosty, it's a non released Roller from the King Size series. On the doors is the New Zealand coat of arms. It's from around 1979/80 so could have been for a royal visit.

New Zealand made Carry Case. As far as I know only the CC48 was made under licence in New Zealand.
