Great find on the Matchbox though.

THANKS!
Funny enough if you look carefully ,the sandal pattern is not completely the same,but they are of the same pattern if that makes sense

What was amazing this antique shop is next to the road that the toy fair was been held,hundreds of collectors would have gone past or near the shop so any matchbox collector would have spotted it so i would think it wouldn,t have been there later in the day,has a few collectors would call in after been to the fair, it was destined for me
