Can you help me identify these two model vehicles ?

[Stentor]

I'm selling some model vehicles on behalf of a friend's estate.

 

I've got these two which don't seem to have any manufacturer's identification on them.

 

Can anybody help me please and tell me who manufactured them and what they are models of ?

 

Thanks for your help.

Yes, the first is a Matchbox 1-75 series Bedford Removal van.

The second is a Meccano Dinky 33r Mechanical Horse, though its missing the cab roof! (and its trailer)

Sadly, the latter would have had some real value had it been undamaged and with its trailer.

Brilliant, thanks Hroth and Stewart.

 

Following your lead I think the green van is a Matchbox 1956 Bedford van.

I've got another one to identify if I may.

 

Any idea what this Dinky model is based upon ?

 

To my uneducated eyes it has a Ford look to it.

 

Ta.

It’s a generic “motor truck”  not based on any specific model, which was often the practice of Meccano in the early period.

"Choice" Kiwi, thanks for the information and the link.

 

The price is surprising as well although I appreciate the condition of the one I will be selling is far from mint.

Yes, unfortunately values of models like this plummet dramatically if not “mint in box”. Just having having a box normally doubles any value!

 

I’m afraid none of your three would fetch much more than a pound or so each, at best. Their damage, missing parts etc are pretty extreme even as candidates for refurbishment.
