Matchbox No.24 Weatherhill Hydraulic Excavator in dark yellow, with grey metal wheels and 'Weatherhill Excavator' decal to the rear.

First issued in 1956, this lovely example is in very near mint condition, with some minor chips to the paint and missing most of the decal to the rear. See the pictures.

The box is original, complete and very near mint, 9/10. Lightly creased with a little wear to the corners and a small pencil mark to one picture side.

We've been fortunate this year in buying some great Matchbox 1-75 collections and here we have another one where the models were all bought when issued and carefully collected and stored.
