This collection consists of an assortment of die-cast metal toy vehicles with plastic components, primarily representing early 20th-century commercial and utility transport. The lot includes three boxed limited edition Matchbox Collectibles steam wagons, each presented with its original yellow-patterned packaging and certificate of authenticity: an Atkinson Steam Wagon carrying a log load secured with chains, a Yorkshire Steam Wagon liveried for De Selby Quarries Co. Ltd. with a stone load, and a Foden Steam Wagon liveried for Hulton Coals with a coal load. The unboxed portion of the collection includes various delivery vans and wagons featuring historical liveries for brands such as Lipton’s Tea, Bird’s Custard Powder, and Express Dairy. Additional models include a blue removals and storage lorry, a wood-panelled bus, a silver classic roadster, an orange breakdown truck, a white Chevrolet stock car with Firestone sponsorship, and a tan military-style vehicle with U.S. Army markings.
