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, mostly where metal meets metal (near unavoidable). Complete and bright “COLES” paper label at the rear (although it looks as if two labels have been (factory) applied, one on top of the other.
One little nick to the diagonal striped label around operable winch on one side, perfect on the other side. Bright matt basepate, and metal parts generally. Area of rough casting on the orange yellow crane with some uneven paint coverage (as-made).
The more unusual end flap pictorial box is bright and clean, complete with all end flaps. Minor wear only and traces of sellotape at the end flaps. Attractive colourful full pictorial scene box with strong colours throughout.
Small area of surface removal at an end flap where a price label has been carelessly removed (minor). Pencilled price at one non-picture side.
