Great! Do you happen to have any of the old original Matchbox models when it was the Lesney Co.? They’d be worth something in the right locale.

I think some of the models I got when I was real young in the early 60s were the Lesney brand.

I remember before I was a young teen some magazine had an article about a man who was placed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the largest collection of Matchbox cars so I went and counted mine and had over 300 more than he. The guy was a piker compared to me but I was only about 11 years old and my parents would never have let me contact the Guinness people as they didn't think much for people who bragged or tried for fame (something to which I agree).
