Yesteryear Collection



The second series boxes for Matchbox Lesney Models of YesterYear.
Issued for the first 9 models in the series and the added models Y10 to Y14. Circa 1957 - 1958.
Box has a line drawing front face, fact sheet rear face, and the end flaps with a blue model number reference in a white/cream circle on the dark blue background. Easier to read compared to the first issue boxes.
Model references Y5, Y6, & Y7 may not have been issued in this style.
