I think they are from the World Cup in Mexico 1970 but I'm open to suggestions.

I picked about a dozen up on Saturday at a boot sale.

They look like to me that they were produced for the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
VM was the FIFA symbol for that World Cup
the writng at the top STJARNOR FOTBOLL is Swedish for Football Stars.
The 2 players on the left look by the writing at the bottom like they play for VASTRANYLLAND (Or something like that)(This is a Swedish team).

You know, the 1958 at the bottom might just be a give away.......!!!! Sherlock

I'd not noticed that until I put the magnifying glass on it!

Oh, quite a nice find then!
