Polythene Miniatures

Polythene Miniatures are another Matchbox sized competitor from Hong Kong in the 1960’s. My small collection provides another comparison point with Matchbox Lesney models of the era. Complete with original boxes.

Polythene Miniatures 73 Tow Truck The view underneath shows the metal axles with rounded head finishing to retain the small plastic wheels.
Polythene Miniatures 75 Ford Wagon A small scale Polythene Miniatures Ford Station Wagon. It would be about 1:87 rather than the 1:64 of the Matchbox model.
Polythene Miniatures 75 Ford Wagon Identified on the box as just a Station Wagon, it is similar to the Matchbox Lesney 31a Ford model.
Polythene Miniatures 75 Ford Wagon The view from underneath shows the brown paint of the roof on the inside as well. Although it appears that the brown may have been added in the moulding or while it was still hot, as it appears to be within the plastic rather than just applied to the surface.
