Matchbox collector just adding some possible clarification. The small van is a 17A Bedford Removals Van. It was originally green and had a label that read "Matchbox Removals Service" on both sides. The Station Wagon is a 31B Ford Fairlane wagon. The Rolls Royce is a regular series Matchbox #44A and the base is black. The red paint was added later. The Major Pack is an M2 Davies Tire Van. Should be orangy red with a silver trailer. Just a couple of asides, The #74 Canteen has a harder to find light blue base, the Studebaker wagon has a harder to find dark blue slider, and the yellow trailer is a first production run with knobby black tires.
In Scotland you would be called "A jammy bastard." Which means "a very lucky man," hope you bring joy to thousands by restoring their childhood memories.
Nice selection from your subscribers Marty, the trucks with metal wheels and pinched axles date from late 50's to early 60's when plastic wheels and mushroomed axles we're introduced. The Bedford box truck is an early variation having a curved roof rather than flat from late 50's. Cannot wait for the rebuild on the RAF refueller,always amazes me how much detail was on these early matchbox models the prices they sold for back in the day was absolutely cheap for what you got, I was born in 1955 and was one of seven having two brothers and four sisters money was tight so only got cars on birthdays and Christmas time but everyone I owned was cherished and remember them being on sale here for 2/6D in old money or equivalent to 12 and 1/2 pence in today's money.

You mentioned some models you didn't have in your collection. Why not do a call to action video of all the ones you need or want with pictures showing what they look like . Then the subscribers may have or know where the illusive ones are for your set. Kinda like a fan based scavenger hunt. Lol
Had a pretty damn good time with that set of boxes, didn’t you? Don’t blame you a bit. Awfully nice of those folks to send you such cool pieces and very kind of you to share with us. Thank you.
Nice haul. I like when you get excited over vehicles you are unfamiliar with. Such a kid. We never really grow up, do we? Have fun with those. Lots of videos to do. Great!
Marty you have quite the collection building up... Love all those cars... Looking forward to watching you redo all of them.... Love the SEMI truck can't wait to see that one done... Cheers
That was a fun video to watch! I am looking forward to that air force water truck myself. looks like it needs a little help but nothing drastic, also DOG!
Love how you Started out with patients While trying to get the over taped models open, then finally just lost it, I laugh so hard my son came in to see what the fuss was about.
lots of atv trailers and older campers in north america run a 8" rim with tire makes it about 12". I upgraded mine to run 13" rims and with tire makes it about 15-16" tall tire.
Marty,i never get bored watching your unboxing sessions,always fun.i tell you what,you're extremly lucky with the last item,That Bedford truck.9 times out of ten,they are missing one or both rear doors.i have 4,but they all had either one or both doors missing.keep up the good work.
The Duck( dukw) was a 6x6 gmc truck with a boat hull built around the bottom and a pto ( power take off) shaft driving a propshaft, there was a also a gpw willys jeep which was amphibious, but easily sank when swamped by a wave,s, the dukw,s were actually quite sea worthy and could cross the channel, but had limited range and were quite slow, so easy targets.
Saturday am with my coffee I just thought about how technology has made it possible to feel close to someone who is so far away. You have so many followers here in U S A and we all enjoy your vids . Keep up the good work !
Another great unboxing from some very generous people. The Honda motorcycles also should have a black kick stand underneath so maybe another job for your Printer skills. All the best from the Southwest ( UK)
Do you have a shelf with all your restoration vehicles lined up? Maybe do a video of all the vehicles lined up and show them off and talk about each one a little. This way new viewers can see what you already did and then they might go look into your past videos and watch them.
@@scottm.franklinnc7942 His 50k subscriber hobby room episode, had his collection in it. He did not describe them much, but you can see them at least. ruclips.net/video/G7V2gM2dJSg/видео.html
I have two of the 64b MG 1100 in green (it was also available in metallic blue) and I used to have the orange VW Camper. It should have a red plastic roof that hinges upwards
Hey Marty, just a few thank-you's first for your videos, your glue and baking soda fix [it works] and I just received a set of Gentle Vise Jaws, magnetic and rubber to hold things in my vise that need a little TLC . Didn't know about them till I saw yours. Unfortunately I sold all my Matchbox vehicles on Ebay several years ago, had some from mid 50's on. For the money I made, would have felt better donating them to you. Sorry. I did keep one, Matchbox Models of Yesteryear No.Y-15, 1930 Packard Victoria. It was on my shelf and completely over looked it, so I kept it. Thanks again, I'll be watching.
I like the green car with the dog, I think it is either a Wolsley or an Austin. I will look forward to seeing the rebuild. I have some cars to send to you also 😁👍
It’s an MG 1100. They did Austin, Morris, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas variants of it too. It also came as the 1300. It has the same running gear as the Mini and was known as the ADO16
Love your vids, I can't believe the cars people give you. Worth a mint on EBay. Just to clarify there's definitely plenty of bike trailers with little wheels. Like the old boat trailers that the wheels fall off from bearings overheating due to extra revaluations being so small. Keep up the great channel. Onya mate 👍🏻
Love that little Bedford TK artic! Probably a 12-tonner, with a shorter 'urban delivery' trailer! You've seen some villages in Norfolk Marty, you can't get a premium weight wagon around them without demolishing buildings! And the 'furniture van'? Looks like either a Bedford 'O' series, and the bit over the cab rook is called a Luton, named after the town where they made hats! :-) I love these video's Marty, and they look like you have fun too! :-)
Hilarious. Reminded me of being a kid at Xmas and getting a box in a box in a box etc. Each having wrapping paper and fully coated in a layer of clear tape. And inside the last box was a knife🔪.
Hi Marty. At first I was surprised that you hadn't seen some of those models before but then I realised you must be a lot younger than me! The American Ford Station wagon was the second No 31. The earlier one was also a Ford and it came in plain yellow. The version you have also appeared in yellow but is quite rare. There are probably quite a few more models you're not familiar with. That needs to be put right so keep an eye on your mailbox.
I love how some people just dump a bunch of cars in a box and ship them, and how some individually wrap each and every one of them and then wrap them all together. I'd probably fall somewhere in the middle of those two. Enough that more damage doesn't come to them, but not so much that it takes a person too long to open.
I had that motorcycle and trailer. Lost the motorcycle pretty early on..... the trailer wasn't nearly as fun to play with. And my Chevy taxi was one of my favorite pieces. One of these days I'll get a metal detector and look for it on the beach in Maine that I lost it on.
Marty another great video. Always enjoyable to watch. When it really is your birthday, please ask your wife for a decent pair of scissors. I'm wincing every time you attack the packages with a knife!
Yep, definitely a Bedford. It has Matchbox Removal Service decals... Just found it on Google. It is 1950s and green in colour. By the way... I love your unboxing videos as much as the restoration ones.
The Camper Van, or Kombi here in Brazil has those different designs. The first one (green) was build until 1975 and the second one (orange) was produced from 1976 until 2005 when they changed the front end by the insertion of a big radiator grill.
Marty that one with the driver and little dog in the back is an Austin or morris 1100 or 1300 from around the later 1960s hence no seat belts fitted. Enjoyed your unpacking and you losing it made my day regards from a uk pom.😊
@@dangerousandy the difference was not great on the early models the mg has a slightly bigger engine to the standard Austin morris 1100 and 1300 memory serves me correctly I think it was a 1498 cc trim level was a bit plusher as well.😊
I remember I had that little 'O' type Bedford removal van, the green is the correct colour, if my memory serves me well it had 'Lesneys modern removals' on the side in yellow. BTW, the RAF fuel bowser is probably a Leyland 'Hippo'. ATB from Somerset UK.
Another brilliant video Marty, I really do love every single one. Marty, you really have created a monster with your addictive personality and the resto's, however will you retire ? Any chance of a little guided tour of your collection sometime ?

"This ones had an owl or something fly through the front windscreen," gave me a chuckle.
No script, I just say what i think at the time, sometimes I regret it!!
D, Designed in 1942
U, Utility
K, All-wheel drive
W, Dual-tandem rear axles
6zzzzzz6zzzzzz6 As someone said before, good thing it wasn't designed in 1944 ☺️
Beat me to it - U.S. manufacturer’s designation. Good old Google!
Marty gets the nicest stuff from his fans. Can't wait to see some of these restored by him!

Those are my ✂!!!!! Lol. Your family is so cute.
Not necessarily a word that I would use!
Your videos put a smile on my face and gives me a laugh - thanks Marty

Great news Angel, I guess I better keep going then!

Thanks fragmegrowler, fingers crossed!
Nothing like a Marty video to brighten my mid-week!
The great Scissor debacle of 2019! LMAO
We all had a good laugh there Marty
Kevin Jones , aka Frank Zappa. I think that photo is from the Apostrophe album. If my memory serves me correctly.
lots of atv trailers and older campers in north america run a 8" rim with tire makes it about 12". I upgraded mine to run 13" rims and with tire makes it about 15-16" tall tire.
Older boat trailers (for 12-14 foot boats) here in Australia used the same wheels as well.
Love these unboxing videos.
For those of you that aren't a Patreon supporter ya should be. All those models take supplies to get Martyized.
Too true! - Thanks murrij!
Marty,i never get bored watching your unboxing sessions,always fun.i tell you what,you're extremly lucky with the last item,That Bedford truck.9 times out of ten,they are missing one or both rear doors.i have 4,but they all had either one or both doors missing.keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback and i am looking forward to see what that truck should actually look like!
Excellent haul again Marty, they also did the Honda race bike in a pink and purple colour, and orange trailer!
Some of Martin's collectibles surprised me. I've never ever thought that those type of models would even exist.
Loved the unscripted laughter
The Duck( dukw) was a 6x6 gmc truck with a boat hull built around the bottom and a pto ( power take off) shaft driving a propshaft, there was a also a gpw willys jeep which was amphibious, but easily sank when swamped by a wave,s, the dukw,s were actually quite sea worthy and could cross the channel, but had limited range and were quite slow, so easy targets.

Nice haul Marty! Some of those will be a first on RUclips, especially that little removalist van.
with all the glass on those greyhound bus models wouldent it be nice to 3d print some passengers and drivers to scale
I love this unboxing, some nice models there !! Thanks for the video !
Another nice haul Marty. Great video as always 😀
Marty. Can’t wait for the restorations!!👍🏻👍🏻
Me too , just gotta find the time to get them done now!
Great score (s) ! Enjoyed, cheers!
Ahhh Marty you take me right back to that young kid, saving up .59 cents to buy my next Matchbox. Thanks!
I am so very glad you told us what the background music is. I love music and I will never hear this without thinking about you. Thank you so much.
The only thing that I miss in these unwrapping videos are those bizarre newspapers :D

My God people! You don't have too wrap them so well. He is going to restore them! 😂
Do you have a shelf with all your restoration vehicles lined up? Maybe do a video of all the vehicles lined up and show them off and talk about each one a little. This way new viewers can see what you already did and then they might go look into your past videos and watch them.

You have to do the car with the dog in the back! I've never seen a car like that.
In the late 70's There was someone in Great Yarmouth (UK) giving rides from the beach and back in a DUKW, still remember my dad taking me on it.
check out "london duck tours"
I’m happy Marty finished this episode with all of his fingers ! That green and cream station wagon is rare I think it is a very early car
Yeah, he didn’t finish the video leaking all over the place.
