Miniatures Box Type – C

Matchbox Box Type - C

In use from 1961, box type C still has the line drawing as seen on its predecessors but now that Lesney has bought out Moko, that brand name has been dropped from the box design.

The end flap was again plain blue with the model number in black text inside a white circle and the model name printed in white text.

Each model can be found in a ‘C’ type box with the following exceptions :

41b : Jaguar
47a : Trojan Van
59a : Singer Van
66a : Citroen
70a : Thames Estate
71a : Army Water Truck

Miniatures Box Type – B

Matchbox Box Type - B

In use for 6 years from 1955 through to 1960 and having 5 different variations, this box type was used for all models.

The box still had a line drawing of the model contained within but this time the ”Moko” name was in the same bold font as the ”Lesney” name. The difference was in the end flap design; more specifically the text.
