Superfast Casting # 4
Re: Superfast Casting # 4
Very interesting J as that is certainly an earlier box in the box timeline. Maybe Rob could clarify if the #4 I bought from his auction was an originally bought by him from a shop in back in 1971 or thereabouts and came in the type I box from new?
The box types are very close together in the timeline that I am curious if it is possible that some came in the 'I' type box

Re: Superfast Casting # 4
I understand the order to be:
1. Superfast New 4 Gruesome Twosome
2. Superfast 4 Gruesome Twosome
3. New 4 (No Superfast Script and no model name)
1. Superfast New 4 Gruesome Twosome
2. Superfast 4 Gruesome Twosome
3. New 4 (No Superfast Script and no model name)

Re: Superfast Casting # 4
Alex, is your No. 4 an additional box to what I have seen or are we describing it incorrectly.

Re: Superfast Casting # 4
Strange things are a happening!!!
I have posted elsewhere about a broken link to Pat's Matchbox boxes reference site and now I notice the absence of #4 Gruesome Twosome in Nick's guide...is there a technical issue or has it simply been forgotten!

Re: Superfast Casting # 4
Nicks guide only lists the first SF model for each model number, so in this case he features the #4 Dodge Stake Truck and not the Gruesome TwosomeGHOSTHUNTER wrote:Strange things are a happening!!!

Re: Superfast Casting # 4
Here were the 4 model variations I had with the 3 different box variations, over the years I upgraded boxes and also tried to get all the different variations, I didn't at that time pay any specific attention to timeline variations of boxes with models, I just wanted a mint box with mint model

Re: Superfast Casting # 4
Thanks for the clarification Rob, appreciated. And so it remains unclear which box type the amber glass #4 should be associated with. What are your thoughts Christian?
