Yesteryear Collection

On the D3-type box the background picture is still basically the same as the D2-type boxes except with the notable change of moving the ‘Models of Yesteryear’ logo from the top of the front of the box to the bottom and placing the “MATCHBOX” banner in its place.
On this box the end flaps are still blue with white script.

Collectors Note: Models Y3 and Y13 have not been seen in this box.
