I love those design drawings Tom. So much detail and work goes into them - great stuff.

Same here, I love seeing this sort of ephemera from all the toy companies, it is so fasinating and in many cases quite revealing, it's a shame that so few of these from "Matchbox" have gone into the collectors market and even fewer have been shown openly on forums such as this, I know a fair number of Dinky drawings survived and were purchased and owned by Mike and Sue Richardson for a number of years.

Tom, Is the early presentation set yours? It looks like an old ebay photo as the symbol is on the right lower corner.
This is a very rare set. Can you post a photo of the back of this box? I have seen the front of the box before.
The backside should list the contents if I am right.

Here some internet images...
...sadly the image of the back of the box can not be made larger for easier reading.

Tom,
Some excellent photos of some very nice items! The Presentation set is a true GEM.
I certainly remember the poster from the Gathering --- they are both very cool and look great!
