Rowntree Fruit Gums - Dark Green. See Blue Milky Bar Bus above for details. |
Keddies No.1 in Essex - Blue. The blue "Milky Bar" model was used as a base by Matchbox Toys to make 900 of these models for Keddies Department Store in Southend Essex. Due to their rarity, there were many fakes of this model made. The easiest way of confirming the fake versions are the "rounded" corners of the labels. They can be either square or very roughly rounded on the fakes. Also the printing on the fake labels is poor quality. |
