Creaks of Camberley, UK.

Despite extensive research, I can find very little information on this company anywhere except on the internet which has a few references indicating it is a small antiques business based in Camberley while other references refer to it as a model and promotionals maker.

"The Alternative Collection" is a range of model vehicles primarily based on the Matchbox Models of Yesteryear castings. Each model appears to be issued as a limited edition of 1000 and comes with a certificate of authenticity plus some information on the subject of the model. The models are repackaged in their original manufacturer's packaging with only the addition of an end-tab sticker denoting the item belongs to "The Alternative Collection by Creaks of Camberley".

To date I have been unable to locate any references or listings outlining the full extent of the range in this "Alternative Collection", examples of which appear, from time to time, on eBay. I understand from other collectors and searches of eBay listings that Creaks has probably produced over 100 different models for this "Alternative Collection" and an unknown quantity of models as promotional items for other companies.

Eventually I will add further sub-pages to this entry detailing the models I have in my collection that have been produced by this company. Should you have any further information on the company or its range, I would be pleased to hear from you via the comment link on this page.
