The co-founder of Matchbox Toys, Jack Odell, has died, aged 87.
The engineer moved into the toy trade after joining a die-casting company that had moved into toy production.
His daughter inspired the creation of his most famous invention in
1948 after her school only allowed her to take in an item that
would fit into a matchbox.
