Well your 2 cars sure beat my 6 Matchboxes! Great stuff!

Could that emblem be from an old Montgomery Ward appliance?

did you know the lesney company from england copy righted the frase "match box" his daughter could not bring any toy bigger then match box so he made her match box sized cars to take to school the kids loved them so much he started to make more . then it became an american saying from there

Those are definitley Matchbox. The first is a Scammel Breakdown Truck #64. Made from 1959 to 1969.

The second is the tank from the Thornycroft Antar Tank Transporter #M3A. First made in 1959. Do not know for how long.

When I get time I will post pics of both in mint condition.
