D973

Notes

Issued between 1954-59. Often found in quite chipped condition due to the irresistable play value (hoisting, slewing & jib raising!). This example has fared better than most with only the occasional minor mark to the vibrant blue and yellow finish. Our guess is that this crane has spent the majority of the past 55 or so years tucked away firmly in its packing piece and largely forgotten!

All intact and working well. Metal parts are bright including the winding handle cuffs.
The large striped Supertoys box is clean and bright.

One (quite small) seam tear to the lid. Usual rubbing at edges. Box base has some shelf rubbing on the underside. The owner has written his name and the first line of his address on the inside of the box base.
Nice to see the large and very effective packing piece is still present, along with the Quality Control Label.
