Manufacturer: Vintage Toy Car Storage Trays
Neat find out of a home, matching pair of vintage blue plastic storage trays for use with Matchbox, Hot Wheels and other collectible toy cars and possibly some smaller trucks (depending on size, some trucks might be too long in length or height for these). Each is divided into 12 compartments so you could store 24 cars with this pair of trays.
We believe these were originally sold as part of a carrying case for these cars that may have held 4 of these plastic storage trays. We do not have the original carrying case, but if you do and are missing a few of the trays, perhaps these will fit. Our guess is that these date to the 1960's or 1970's.
Each measures about 9 1/2 inches long, 6 1/4 inches wide and sits about 1 3/8 inches in height. As shown in the images, they have an open design with a diamond pattern for the underside and rectangles around the outer edges with notched solid plastic pieces dividing the spaces/cars. The trays are light in weight, together they weigh about 5 ounces unpacked. These will be shipped together in one box for safety.
Very nice, very usable condition with no breaks, cracks, chips or pieces missing that we see. However, they do show minor age and/or wear as you can see in the images, mainly via outer edges not being exactly straight but having curves or waves to them, with corners being curved or flared outwards in some cases (this may be how these were made, we don't know, but we are guessing that this is due at least in part to use and storage over time). While we did a light cleaning of these just to get surface dust, they could use some further cleaning with dish soap as there is still some light spotting and/or dirt on them in some places, particularly in the corners of sections, but it's not bad and we believe this could be cleaned off.
It was difficult to photograph the true nice, rich turquoise blue color of these, as camera lighting often distorts that color (and blands out some of the detail). So we shot images both with and without the camera light. The images shot with the light appear lighter in color than you will see in person, while the images without the camera light show up darker than you will see, so the true color is in between these two. If you look across all the images, you should get a good idea of these pieces.
Great way to store and display a car collection. |
