CONDITION:I have done my best to describe the condition and characteristics of the car and box accurately, but my terminology may not match your expectations. If subtle details of condition are important to you, please examine the photos carefully to make your own determination.
History: In the 1960's and 70's, our family ran a hobby shop in the Chicago suburb of Western Springs. When the shop closed, my dad packed up a lot of the stock, including Matchbox cars, and kept them stored in Arizona until recently. It's likely this piece is "new old stock", in other words it was never sold or used. It's possible it was added to his collection later, but the description of condition still applies.
International shipping available via USPS First Class Mail. International buyers may be responsible for additional import fees or taxes.
