Bit different this time ,has we are in printed paper territory,this was an auction lot in a local auction and i was viewing online ,glancing quickly from lot to to lot i just thought some modern catalogues and mica mags but later i looked again and saw a couple of oldy gems sticking out also look at the mica? magazines turned out to be a really good lot,even the auction porter said so,(there was a tube not in the picture with a boxed matchbox collectors van,poster,licence ,stickers pin badge etc all mint! )

UK matchbox, not MICA, and look to be in a binder?

Looks like that might be a full set of UK Matchbox magazines. (Volume 3 is htf, whilst volumes 1 and 2 are borderline rare.)

Exactly,i have a box full of mica mags and assumed these were what these were,but turned out to be the harder to find uk matchbox collectors club ones

What good eyes you have
full set of volume three,and some later ones,theres a couple of ray bush letters and indexes etc

The letters are a great catch!

I have volumes 1, 2 and 3 all in binders for sale if anyone is interested. Just PM me.
Nice haul by the way.

Heres a couple of yesteryear items out the box ,a flyer for i think the first yy calender,and another flyer for some early code threes,and still no guesses at the gems?

I have the calendar advert, which is from 1980 by Stuart's Marketing & Advertising. As far as I'm aware, It was nothing to do with the Major Models issues, the first of which appeared in 1984. I've tried to track down a produced Stuart's example with no success.
