#801 Bluish Box – Morris Nipper (Ref. 7434) (Around 1960)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

This is a plastic machine amongst a size smaller than iii inches, it could truly live confused amongst an H0 1:87 model, although I approximate it is simply modest because the master Morris Minor was a really modest car.

The machine is marked “Nº 434 Hong Kong” together with it took me a chip to respect out which manufacturer is behind this Matchbox knock-off. The respond is Blue Box, a companionship that has already appeared in i trial inward my blog, together with whose even is sort of paradigmatic for a Hong-Kong companionship that started copying toys from England, together with afterwards became a peachy together with powerful toy company.

Compared to the Matchbox car, I would country this i is based inward its ain cast, since at that spot are many big differences to come upwards from a cloned cast. The toy is quite delicate (note the broken window frame on i side, together with the missing purpose inward the chassis), then it is quite surprising to accept constitute this especial yet inward such a expert shape. Its previous possessor was sure a really careful guy. It is a squeamish substitute for the
Machbox model, since this is i of the hardest to find.

This final moving painting shows the Bue Box model amid others inward a really squeamish blisterpack amongst the feature bluish label. The machine was also available inward unmarried boxes, together with other multi-packs including 8 or half dozen cars.
