About Matchbox
Matchbox Miniatures debuted in 1953. The British manufacturer, Lesney, didn't start putting dates on the base plates of models until the early 70's, and in 1982 the Lesney trademark was dropped. These help to date early pieces. In 1988, the company started to re-issue replicas of early models, so a careful study is recommended before purchasing older vehicles.
Matchbox has not fared as well on the secondary market as Dinky, probably because at their high point Lesney was churning out five million cars a week. (Information thanks to the worldcollectorsnet website)
