Up until 1957 Lesney had not published any catalogues. The first Matchbox pocket catalogues were produced by Fred Bronner, an American distributer. Between 1957 and 1959 Lesney used both fold out sheets and booklet catalogues.

In 1954, distribution of Lesney toys to the United States was conducted by a salesman from New York named Fred Bronner. He became the sole U.S. importer during the late 1950's. In 1964, Lesney Products (U.S.A.) was formed as a division of the English Lesney Products. Lesney acquired all of Fred Bronner's stock and he became the first president of Lesney Products (U.S.A.).
