Antique Car Table Tray by Lesney, Featuring A Die-Cast Renault Vehicle

Die-Cast 1911 Renault 2-Seater Figure On Sleek Black Tray

Featuring a die-cast model of the 1911 Renault 2-Seater vehicle, this sleek black tray produced by Lesney Products & Co. Ltd. Lesney was a British manufacturer famous for their highly detailed die cast toys and models. This brand is synonymous with the 'Matchbox' box brand. The tray itself is composed of heavy, durable ceramic cast and can be used either as an ashtray or catch all for that perfect Man-Cave décor. The figurine is secured by two concealed screws.

This piece was not made with the usual large sticker found at the bottom of other models, detailing the history of the vehicle. However, we were able to find a previous model and the literature can be found at the bottom of the listing.
