A Dinky Toy classic! Yellow crane mounted on an orange 6-wheel lorry chassis. The crane is fully operational: it has two handles that are turned to raise and lower the jib and the hook, and the crane can be slewed on the chassis. This is the earliest release of the model, with driver figures in both the lorry and the crane cabs. Wheels are yellow metal, and are fitted with grey tyres. The 'Coles' logo is on the rear of the crane.
This is a played-with example, with general paint chipping. The cords are non-original and the hook is missing. These spare parts are readily obtainable, and re-cording is very easy as the crane body can be hinged upwards to gain access to the winding mechanism. The tyres are original, and have hardened with age with slight flat spots.
The box is poor, having suffered crushing, and the lid has lost one end and has several unsuccessful tape repairs.
