The new forum also this old 1/75 Matchbox picture may not be missing.
Perhaps there is new information about it.
Thank you Your friend Mike from Austria.


Enclosed is a little thought in German from us:
Ja, so hat es vor mehr als 3 Jahren begonnen!
Mein Sohn Nico und ich suchten Informationen über dieses
seltene Matchbox Bild inkl. alten Holzrahmen.
Wir fanden die sehr interessante Internetseite von Nick.
Seit damals sind dabei.
Leider waren wir sehr erschrocken über das neue Forum.
Aber die liebe am Sammeln lernte uns zu verstehen und zu akzeptieren.

Liebe Grüße an Nick und alle seine Mitglieder.

Mike & Nico aus Österreich.

Hello Mike,

Your 'Pub Mirror' is very nice, especially for "Matchbox" collectors. It is difficult to tell who or when it was made, because so many of them exist with many subjects, not just model cars.

Shown below is a similar Mirror, but of a Rolls-Royce subject.

Many of these Mirrors came onto the UK markets during the 1980's and it would seem that different companies made them.

It would be nice to if there are other "Matchbox" subject Mirrors in collectors private collection's, I have not seen your's before.

Regards,
GHOSTHUNTER.

Hello Mike and Nico, don't worry about the new forum because your cyber friends are here, so keep posting! I saw a mirror the same as yours on ebay.com some months ago, but I haven't seen any others.

Nice to see your mirror gh, do you see a ghost when you look into it? :twisted:

Hi Ghosty.
Hi Johnboy.
Thank you for your interest.
But perhaps the calendar under the picture is more interesting?
