BLUE BOX BYGONES

 Last year I bought on a small fleet of miniature plastic cars, which struck a chord when I saw them.


I recall having similar cars as a kid, especially in construction and garage settings. I think mine came in three-layered window boxes.


These are all by Blue Box and individually numbered on the bases.


Beautiful little things.

Do you like them? Did you have any as a kid?

  1. I loved Blue Box toys, especially the space and army stuff. I had lots of these cars, most of which are copies of Matchbox, like that blue compressor truck and the red D-Type Jag. Cheap and fragile, but such great fun. Bill

  2. These look like they could easily be used in an HO scale train layout, 1/87 scale. A nice coat of paint and they’re ready to go! SFZ

  3. In my youth my uncle gave me a bunch of tootsie toys die casts. Cheap basic die casts but I had a lot of fun playing with them. They had a D jag in purple about the same size.
