Dinky 972 20-Ton Lorry-Mounted "Coles" Crane. Near mint plus/boxed. Last issue with yellow plastic wheels in full pictorial end flap box. From The Watford Collection.
Notes
More unusual later issue presented in the attractive full pictorial end flap box. Vivid and original yellow and orange finish, yellow plastic hubs, correct that this issue has one driver. All in working order with an operable winch and swivelling movements. A few little chips/marks (only). Complete and slightly aged “COLES” paper label at the rear.
Bright matt baseplate. Dulling to the axles.
The more unusual end flap pictorial box is bright and clean, complete with all end flaps. Attractive colourful full pictorial scene box with strong colours throughout.
Remains of a price label at an end flap. Little tear at the vulnerable tuck-in part of one large end flap. No graffiti. Little partial puncture at a non-picture side.
