Notes
This large and detailed Crane Truck has a vivid and lustrous orange and deep yellow finish.
Rare to come to the market place – this is the transition issue from 1955 which bears features from both early and later issue. Metal wheels and two blue metal drivers (early features) but chevron transfers at the sides, large ‘Coles’ & chevron transfer at the rear (later features). The first we have offered for sale:
Two small retouches but a bright and glossy finish which presents well.
With the realistic working features of hoisting, jib raising and slewing, it is no wonder that this truck is rarely found in mint condition!
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.
Light blue card tray and sturdy packing insert also in light blue included.
