Christian Falkensteiner's Matchbox Box Pictures
M type boxes were issued during 1982 on the US market only.
Such boxes were issued for all models which were part of the US Miniatures range at the time.
This was the first series of generic cardboard boxes not featuring individual model pictures.
While these were available in the USA, L type boxes continued to be issued in other parts of the world.
