This is a terrific Collection of Vintage Lesney Toy Cars. These Cast Metal English Toys are the early version of Matchbox Cars. The group includes the 5 Vehicles shown, each is marked Lesney as well as the vehicle "Name" on the bottom.
"English die casters Leslie Smith and Rodney Smith founded Lesney Products in 1947 and, along with partner Jack Odell, began making small toys to fill slack demand during wartime. In 1952, Odell was inspired by a rule at his daughter's school that permitted students to only bring toys that fit inside a matchbox."
Each is in excellent vintage condition, **With Definite signs of age and wear. Please Zoom photos to appreciate all the details, as well as to best understand overall condition.
Each measures about 2.25" -2.5" long.
