Matchbox Lesney Presentation Set Transporter & 4 Cars Repro Box

Description

Matchbox Lesney Presentation Set Transporter & 4 Cars Repro Box.

A reproduction box for the Matchbox Presentation Set Transporter & 4 Cars. This set is referenced by collectors as PS2, issued in 1959. It pre-dates the Gift Sets with the GS prefix. The set contained the A2 car transporter and one each of #30 Ford Prefect, #31 Ford Station Wagon, #33 Ford Zodiac, & #36 Austin A60.

This style is commonly known as the ‘B’ style box with Moko Lesney in the banner.

The pictures show the empty box and one with the cars inserted. The cars are NOT included. The item for sale is the reproduction box only.

This item is sent fully assembled ready to place your models inside. It is a large parcel to prevent crushing. The original boxes made in the 1950’s were flimsy and easily damaged due to the method of assembly. This box is constructed with a heavier card but is still flimsy. The design was not for display but simply to hold the models before the new (invariably young) owner ripped the models out, and consigned the box to the trash. Hopefully with careful treatment, this reproduction box will display well in your cabinet for many years.
