Matchbox Toys have been in production since the first toys were released under by lesney in England in 1953, the 1-75 Series. Lesney continue to operate the Matchbox brand until they went into backruptcy in 1982. The Matchbox brand was then purchased by Universal Toys, and operated by them until they the Universal Matchbox Group was purchased by Tyco in 1992.
