A Fine Collection of Matchbox Toys
Comes to The Lloyd Ralston Gallery
One of the ways in which I select my next blog is to see when the last time was,
when I wrote a blog post for the person or company. As it turns out, the last time I wrote about the Lloyd Ralston Gallery was on August 3 of this year.
Wow, how time flies. This post is close in time to August 3, nevertheless, to see so many Matchbox toys at one time, most certainly merits a post!
This auction is set for December 14, 2024. There are lots and lots of
Matchbox toys, and it appears that they came from a collection. There are plenty of toys in the collection, and it's quite interesting to see so many
Matchbox toys at one time.
Matchbox was a name of the Lesney Products company from Britain. It started in 1953, and was purchased by Mattel (USA) in 1997. The name of the company (Matchbox) was created from the size of the toys, which were small. As such, they might fit into an actual matchbox containing matches
for lighting cigarette or cigars.
