Where’s the Fun From? – Matchbox Coronation Coach

BY Tim Walsh October 23, 2022 Filed to: Read, Watch, Listen

In this installment from my YouTube series, Where’s the Fun From?, I discuss how, in 1953, Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation Coach helped launch one of the moved beloved tiny toys of all time.

Author, documentary filmmaker, and toy industry veteran Tim Walsh recently founded a new game company called Roo Games. Additional Where’s the Fun From? episodes are available on his Seize the Play YouTube channel.

Tim’s work appears on Toy Tales as part of our Friends of Toy Tales initiative to share content we enjoy from a host of creators with a similar fondness for vintage toys, classic games, and collectibles. His videos tell the stories behind the classic objects of play that continue to live in our hearts and minds.
