MATCHBOX ORIGINALS

The Matchbox Originals

represent fine reproduction of Lesney Products. The trademark "MOKO" was adopted by 1948 and the first toy—a road roller-was produced followed by others. In 1953, stimulated by the success of the miniature Coronation Coach, Lesney decided to scale down their larger toys to a miniature range. They were packed in a small box the color and shape of a matchbox— thus the "MATCHBOX SERIES" was born.
