<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 269247, member: 55"]The gold one, by Lesney (also known as Matchbox) is probably from their Yesteryear series; some of those were issued with gold-colored plating. I don't think yours is specifically listed in the following link, but they issued many of their painted models in gold variants. Value is probably pretty minimal; you'll often see Lesney Yesteryears for $1 to $5. A box would add some value, and collectors do sometimes look for variants (such as red rather than black seats, and such) but you'd have to do a lot of research to learn about that aspect.</p><p><a href="http://www.matchboxmemories.com/Yesteryear%20Giftware/Plated%20Yesteryears/plated_yesteryear_range.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.matchboxmemories.com/Yesteryear%20Giftware/Plated%20Yesteryears/plated_yesteryear_range.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.matchboxmemories.com/Yesteryear Giftware/Plated Yesteryears/plated_yesteryear_range.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Compare ebay: <a href="http://www.matchboxmemories.com/Yesteryear%20Giftware/Plated%20Yesteryears/plated_yesteryear_range.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.matchboxmemories.com/Yesteryear%20Giftware/Plated%20Yesteryears/plated_yesteryear_range.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.matchboxmemories.com/Yesteryear Giftware/Plated Yesteryears/plated_yesteryear_range.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>An internet search string might be "Lesney yesteryears gold," or "matchbox yesteryears gold."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
