Lot Essay

Muir-Hill Dumper: Don Rix was a Lesney toolmaker who left in 1949 to start his own business - Condon Products - with Frank Constable. The company was shortlived and Lesney bought back the tooling; although never used, it was the inspiration for Matchbox 2a. See Collecting Matchbox Diecast Toys - The First 40 Years, McGimpsey & Orr, 1989, p33
