Matchbox Lesney 74A Mobile Canteen

The Mobile Canteen, 74a, was added to the range in 1959 and remained there until 1966 which long service probably accounts for the range of finishes in which it is seen. Some of them are very scarce and very valuable. The most commonly found is silver with silver wheels and a mid-blue base, however the same version with knobbly black wheels is one of the rarest and could fetch four figures on a good day. White, pink and cream are all to be looked out for as are turquoise and dark blue bases
