Advertising Poster Matchbox Superfast Model Racing Cars. Original vintage advertising poster for Matchbox Superfast, a double track race set toy. Matchbox is a popular British toy brand which was introduced by Lesney Products in 1953, and is now owned by Mattel, Inc, which purchased the brand in 1997. The brand was given its name because the original die-cast Matchbox toys were sold in boxes similar to those in which matches were sold. The brand grew to encompass a broad range of toys, including larger scale die-cast models, plastic model kits, and action figures. The artwork features two toy race cars at the finish line of a toy racing circuit, with one reminiscent of a Ford GT. Acceptable condition, tape marks, fold and pinholes at corners. Country of issue: Canada, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 20x57, year of printing: 1970s.
