This is a "Models of Yesteryear" collectible features a beautifully detailed 1922 Foden C-Type Steam Lorry by Matchbox. Designated as model Y-27, this die-cast vehicle is presented in the classic livery of "Pickfords Removals & Storage," showcasing a deep blue body with a vibrant red chassis and matching spoked wheels. The wagon includes distinctive period features such as a gold-tone boiler pipe, a grey canopy cover, and crisp white "Pickfords", "Removals", "Storage", and "No. 3" lettering on the sides. Stamped on the undercarriage with a 1984 copyright by Matchbox International Ltd. A notable feature of this specific set is the original "1985 Calendar Offer" sticker still attached to the front of the box, which helps date this particular release to the mid-1980s. The back of the packaging provides a brief historical overview in English: "The Foden 'C' Type was the final design of the overtype (Engine above Boiler) Steam Wagon developed from earlier models. This wagon was introduced in the 1920's and had a double crank compound engine which developed 23 B.H.P at 450 R.P.M. It was fitted with spur gearing giving speeds up to 27 K.P.H., but special gearing could be ordered which would enable the wagon to achieve 42 K.P.H., double the permitted speed limit for such wagons." and two other languages, making it a fantastic addition for collectors of commercial transport history or Matchbox enthusiasts. Scale 1:72.
