The first ones were found on Craigslist. This last lot was an ebay find. Bidding got up to $220 and I hit the "buy it now" for $350.00. This lot also contained 6 MOY's, 2 Huskeys, and a Tootsietoy. I don't collect any of these so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them or the MOY case.

You may have struck gold with these non Lesney cars, lets see a photo of them!

The 74a Refreshments canteen looks like it could be a late issue with dark blue riveted base which is quite hard to find.

The 74a is the riveted base. Is this a code 20 with the mid blue base? Here is a comparison to light blue base.

Can someone tell me what "Craigslist" is??

Why do i not know this guy, is he a forum member???

Apologies in advance of my ignorance!!

It's a classified ads site.

The 43 Aveling is the rare red base/driver/scoop version as well. One recently closed on Ebay for over $100. Really great lot, good find.

I saw this listing on ebay the other day. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Matchbox-Reprod ... true&rt=nc

Thanks to the poor wording and lack of pictures, I was the only bidder and picked up these mint models very cheaply!

You certainly got that lot cheap!

The seller really didn't do himself any favours at all with such with this e bay sale, it really was very poorly listed.

Well done you!!
