Notes
This large and detailed Crane Truck has a vivid and lustrous orange and deep yellow finish.
This is the early issue, so it has two blue metal drivers, no “Long Vehicle” sign, and metal ridged Supertoy wheels. Complete “COLES” lettering at the rear.
Just the occasional negligible mark/dot and a couple of small dot retouches if you really want to find them.
The large, deep, striped Supertoys box is bright and puncture-free. Colours are unfaded and that includes the deep blue box base. A little edge rubbing/light handling wear. Faintly pencilled name of the original owner.
Card packing piece is included as well as the Quality Control Tag.
