I haven't bought anything since early February, but this lot arrived today. Can you see the gem?

The first - not as scarce as the second, but still hard to find, I think. Not perfect but the whole lot came in at about £3 each, including a near mint green 17a removal van.Idris wrote:...but which casting?

I love this first casting, its always nice finding the very first model in any condition. As you say the 17a looks a real cracker, a great bargain.

Thanks, Jason. The very first Matchbox casting really is a piece of history!
