  • Description
    Matchbox by Lesney Number 4, a Massey Harris Tractor in a type A end opening box (with MOKO in script). Red solid cast tractor with a tan driver. On this example the exhaust must have been broken off at the factory before painting, so the model just has an air cleaner. The rear wheels are metal with gold coloured hubs and the front wheels are metal with spokes. A Matchbox toy by Lesney from a large collection of British manufactured toy farm vehicles and implements. Numbering: 1) Box, 2) Tractor.
