here is something everyone seems to love: Matchbox! Could not wait for Monday to post them. These are # 1 and 2 in the 1967 edition of Matchbox: Mercedes Benz truck and trailer. These originally had orange plastic tanks, but in my opinion, they look better without them. I paid 45 cents apiece for 9 matchbox cars at a garage sale. I know these sold separately but Fortapache, do you know if these were sold together as well?

I do think they look better without the plastic tops. I believe these were introduced in 1968. Pretty sure they were never sold as a set.
Great buy on those.
Just wondering what these are worth? I have mine with the orange covers along with a lot of my other matchbox. Thinking some might be a bit collectible.
