Modular 5 car clear display boxes

[pannuage9@yahoo.com]

I have acquired several 'Matchbox' clear/acrylic-like display boxes. They have the embossed Matchbox logo and are modular for custom collections.
The web is a bit tedious when hunting down info surrounding these, although mundane as they may be. I thought I'd just toss the query out here and see
if anyone here should have knowledge concerning this, i.e. year introduced, etc.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Can you post a pic or two of your display boxes.

On the basis of what I have seen on Ebay, these were sold in sets of five in the US during the later RW era.

Thank you Idris for the info, I'm based out of the lovely U.S. of A., so it makes sense now.

The small yellow splotchy thing at the top is just a lense flare.

Very nice! Thank You! Is that your collection? If you don't mind my asking.

You are welcome! Yes, it is mine and like the other collectors around here, still trying to add to it. Glad to see you on the forum!
