Manufacturer: Matchbox Toys
Nifty vintage toy find out of a home. This is a 2 piece set from Matchbox of a Peterbilt truck cab with its matching articulated trailer in the orange color. On the exterior of the cab on both sides it says both "Peterbilt" and "Walt's. The two pieces fully sit or can be used together or separately, with the trailer having a post on the underside which fits into a slot on the back piece of the cab (this slot has two connected holes, so you can fit the post into the first hole and then slide it into the second hole where it sits more firmly).
When connected, these two pieces measure about 6 3/4 inches in length, about 1 1/8 inches in width and stand about 1 1/4 inches in height. They weigh about 3.6 ounces unpacked and will be shipped in a box for safety.
These are made with a mix of metal and plastic, with the topside of the cab appearing to be made of metal (a magnet does not stick to this), and perhaps everything else made of plastic, we're not sure. There are 6 wheels on the cab and 4 wheels on the trailer, with all rolling fine. As you can see in one image, these two pieces fit together in a manner that permits moving them both as a unit not only forward and backward, but also in a circle (to make turns).
Both pieces are fully labelled on the undersides. On the cab appears Made in Macau, Peterbilt, Matchbox, Matchbox Int'l Ltd 1983, and the numbers 1-80. On the underside of the trailer appears Matchbox, Articulated Trailer, copyright symbol with 1981, Matchbox Int'l Ltd. So these pieces were made in the early 1980's and therefore vintage toy cars or trucks.
Very good slightly used condition, with no major breaks, pieces missing, parts missing, etc., but with some wear. The truck cab has several tiny paint chips to the orange paint where you see dots of the gray metal coming through, along outer or pointed edges, corners, top decor, etc., some slightly bigger than others, not bad but they are there (this is not mint). There is a bumpy roughness along the top edge of one of the box piece sides on the trailer. It doesn't feel chipped, just having a rounded tiny bumpiness on this one top edge side for about 1 1/8 inches. We can't tell if this was molded this way or represents wear/use wear. There is other slight wear to these older truck pieces, some slight dirt, etc., but not bad. The four windows in the cab are all there and clear. Please examine the images closely using the zoom feature.
We are separately listing another similar Matchbox truck cab and trailer in the black color that came out of the same home. If you are interested in them both, please email prior to inputting the order. The system is set up to calculate the shipping for each item separately and won't automatically provide the postage savings for shipping both trucks and trailers in the same box. We would be pleased to calculate that for you. |
