Odell, Creator of Matchbox and Lledo Models, Dies
Before there was a "die-cast collectibles" market, before there
were certificates of authenticity and serial numbers and all manner of
marketing gimmickry. Before there was a Jada, a Johnny Lightning or a
Hot Wheels, there was Matchbox — a brand that lit millions of kid-sized
imaginations worldwide, a name that turned generations of kids into car
enthusiasts.
Recently, the creator of the toy that gave many youngsters the
opportunity to travel the world on their knees, passed away.

their founder, CLICK HERE. |
