Only for members of the Matchbox Collectors Guild - In addition to the annual model issued exclusively to members of the Matchbox Collectors Guild, Matchbox Collectibles is now issuing a series of models available only to members. Your special Platinum Edition of the 1939 Bedford Pump and Hose Truck is the first die-cast replica issued ib this exclusive guild series.

It captures a legendary fire fighting vehicle. This truck represented the beginning of Bedford's notable fire fighting tradition. It led the fleet of Bedford vehicles that fought fires during and after World War II. And its design set the standard for British trucks through the middle of the 20th century.

Now this vintage fire fighting vehicle is crafted with Matchbox Collectors Guild graphics and the many characteristics that elevated it to classic status, including the reels and hoses, ladders on the side and chrome-finished horn, searchlight on the cab roof and intricate guages and attachments. This premiere Matchbox Collectors Guild Exclusive is produced by - and is available only from - the Matchbox Collectors Guild.

YOUR MODEL BEARS TWO IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS.
Your collector model is distinguished by the two designations that are reserved for the most exclusive and highest quality replicas crafted by Matchbox Collectibles. Matchbox Guild Exclusives are offered oly to registered members of the Matchbox Collectors Guild. This assures their current and future rarity. Each Guild Exclusive is crafted to such an exceptional level of authenticity, precision detailing and overall workmanship that it also earns the prestigious Platinum Edition designation, signifying the highest quality available from Matchbox Collectibles. When a model is both a Matchbox Collectors Guild Exclusive and a Platinum Edition, it is designed for the collector who seeks the optimum combination of rarity, exclusivity and quality.
