I picked up this Matchbox Speed Kings Ambulance on Sunday. :)

This is the model...

This is the price tag on the box side from years ago (not what I paid for it)...

I took the ambulance out of the box to check it out and found the following hidden under the box flap (one with the purchase price and one showing the tax)... :thumbsup:

Of course I added the arrows to highlight the date.

A nice bonus I think.

Now, that is cool.

That is a cool piece of MBX history.

that is cool alright. :thumbsup: always like the price history on the models. i always saved them when possible and i left the price tags on the box too. some stores took care with their placement of stickers, while some stuck them anywhere.

Very cool to have the reciept:thumbsup:
I used to write the date of purchase on an inside flap of the boxes of my toys, so I know when I got the boxed ones, and I do have shop receipts for perhaps half a dozen from 1974-75. Even toy cars have birthdays:hat:

i also saved sale lists. it’s the final stop for some of models and bit of history to the hobby.:)
