Collecting Vintage Matchbox Models - 1 to 75 - Part 1 - First Pick Ups
In today's video we take a look at my vintage Matchbox models. I've really only recently started collecting these as I feel they represent much better value than some other toy lines that are 50+ years old and also because they are pulling on some quite strong nostalgia strings.
This video see's my very earliest acquisitions, alongside a vintage 1982/1983 catalogue, a fantastic guide book plus a challenge I've set myself going forwards. Below, are a few of the links I've been enjoying, both here on RU-vid and the link to the Vectis auction I was referring to in the video.
I do hope you enjoyed this video and that you'll join me on my journey collecting these wonderful vintage toys.
A great vintage Matchbox restoration channel; ru-vid.com

Fabulous. I have maybe 8 modern day Matchbox cars and here you are with pristine Matchbox classic toys AND you have collections beyond diecast models. Wow!

@JulesBurt Год назад

I guess it's all down to patience and getting a bit lucky at toy fairs and online. I like to collect lots of different things👍

@PaliAha Год назад

@@JulesBurt , awe inspiring. You also have a good voice, a voice for documentaries.

@JulesBurt Год назад

Thanks Pali🙂

still got my and my brothers old matchbox toys. in a wooden garage my grandad made for us. nieces and nephews play with them now. 😊. condition of them all, I would describe as extremely well played with

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

That's so cool. I really wish I had kept all my original ones so my boy could have enjoyed them, not that he went short mind you! He had loads when he was growing up. Condition not an issue when they're still being enjoyed👍🙂

@stephensowerby8395 2 года назад

Great to see, thank you. I still have some of the Matchbox cars however they are still played with. I also have some yellow Matchbox track to put the cars on. This was a track my dad brought home for me. A customer of my dad’s was emigrating to Australia and they gave it to him in the late 70s / early 80s. It is a great track we still use today.

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

That's awesome you still have your originals and the track. Bet they hold fantastic memories 👍🙂

Thanks Jeffrey, glad you enjoyed it👍

This is so cool!

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

Thanks Chris! I thought this might appeal mate. These were widely sold in the USA so pretty easy to find online. Not overly expensive to collect, if you're ok with mint loose examples and a lot of fun. A nice change to vintage paperbacks 🙂👍

@joandarc441 2 года назад

Until now i still have the MatchBox Haunted house set and i think the Dino one too

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

Nice! Not sure I know those but cool you still have them👍

@DizzyDsvids2Please Год назад

Thanks for the showing off your awesome models take care everyone 😊

@JulesBurt Год назад

Thanks Dave!

Use canned air spray under pressure etc. The tooth brush is well in danger of damaging the brilliant paint schemes.

@JulesBurt Год назад

Understood, although the bristles on the toothbrush are so soft now as I've been using it for years, I can't see it affecting the paintwork even if I tried.👍

@dahlstardiecast3314 2 года назад

Very cool set, classics. Thanks for sharing 🏁 👍.

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

Thanks, I've been really enjoying collecting these lately 🙂👍

@thatguyfromcetialphaV 2 года назад

I had a ton of Matchbox cars as a kid. My fave was the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am.

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

I remember that one, don't think I ever had one myself though!

@Nazz1967 2 года назад

Great video ! ive started to get some of the ones i had as a kid and its been fun to see them again

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

Awesome! The nostalgia is strong in these👍🙂

@sylvanyoung 2 года назад

Great ! Love it . My first die cast was a Matchbox . Thoes were the days we threw away the boxes 🙄😥 And staged crashes , wrecks and played these to distruction . Anyhow mayhaps it is better to have played and distroyed ( money now lost ) than never to have played . I wish my ' Back To The Furture ' model was full scale . Lol . I would go back in time and preserve all my toys. Lol . Mayhaps a camel hair lens brush may be safer to clean with ? . Thank you for sharing these along with your memories .

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

Cheers Sylvan! Yes, I think we all wish we had a time machine! The toothbrush is incredibly soft so no harm coming to the models but I've acquired some new tools lately so watch this space? Glad you enjoyed this one🙂👍

My first toys were matchbox in 1983 they were still using a card board box at that time used to go in Tesco with my mom they were a pound each so thay had gone up a little bit from the 75 think my first one was a red plane with folding Wings there was a couple of different ones

@JulesBurt 2 года назад

Ah yes, you got the very final ones released in boxes. The plane with the folding wings in quite near the end, number 27F Swing Wing F 14 Tomcat I think. look that one up on eBay, not too expensive. 👍
