The Matchbox Bedford Horse Box was first released in 1977 and has been produced in nearly 50 different variations. This nice example is another of my finds from a visit to the Paramount East antique mall during the December holiday break.

The Matchbox Bedford Horse Box features an opening side door that doubles as a livestock ramp. Unfortunately, my example is missing the two plastic horses.
