Aveling Barford Road Rollers

Several decades ago I collected a large number of die cast metel toys. I have several copies of the Averling Barford road roller. The small one is the first Lesney to be placed in a match box and was the first Matchbox toy. The first three are by Lesney. The fourth is a Dinky (number 251) and the large one is un-named. Imagine my surprize last Tuesday when I came around a corner and saw the real thing! The toys come from the 1960's. The real thing is earlier and has a gasoline engine (Type 2AB)


other sizes: small medium original auto
