Manufacturer: Matchbox Toys
Nifty vintage toy find out of a home. This is a 2 piece set from Matchbox of a Kenworth Aerodyne truck cab with its matching articulated trailer in the black color. 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 3/8 inches in height. They weigh about 3.4 ounces unpacked and will be shipped in a box for safety. The trailer piece has four formed holes in the flatbed as made. We don't know if originally this had another top piece which fit into these holes, or why they are there. We only have what you see in the images.
These are made primarily with metal for the truck cab and the flat, sideless trailer (a magnet doe4s not stick to this), but having plastic silver colored ornamentation on the cab and for the underside of the cab, as well as the wheels. 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 Matchbox, Kenworth Aerodyne, Matchbox Int'l Ltd 1983, Made in Thailand, and S:100. 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 nice overall condition, with no major breaks, pieces missing, parts missing, etc., but with expected slight wear, primarily on the trailer. On the four trailer outer corners they each have tiny paint chips to the black paint where you see dots of the gray metal coming through, with several other touches of this along the trailer side and inner front edges, but all not bad. These pieces have a bit of dust/dirt, and other light wear/tiny spots, but nothing bad. All 6 windows in the truck cab are 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 orange 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. |
