MATChBOX
Overview
Matchbox is a brand of die-cast toy vehicles introduced by Lesney Products in 1953, and now owned by Mattel, Inc. The name 'Matchbox' arose because the original die-cast Matchbox toys were sold in boxes similar to those in which matches were sold. This refers to the brand of miniature toy cars, trucks, buses, aircraft, and other vehicles. Beyond the toys, Matchbox has expanded into related merchandise, media, and entertainment.
