Stannard catalogue casting code 5 of 10. This model is in excellent condition. It was introduced in June, 1964 and was sold in this type and a red weight variation (Mack). It was replaced in 1969 by the 11d Mercedes Scaffold Truck. It
is approximately 82 mm in overall length, jib forward. Please carefully examine the
high definition photos for the original paintwork detail. Minor storage related paint work issues have been restored. The red hook is in perfect condition. The black plastic wheels show no use. The jib works as it should and the attachment to the body is tight. There are no casting defects. This Taylor Jumbo Crane will display as new. Additional photographs can be sent to your e-mail address and questions will be entertained up to 4 hours prior to auction end.
I make the complimentary box which will be sent with the model. They are constructed of correct weight tag board. They are laser printed so they will be somewhat glossier than an original Lesney era box, which was printed with lithography. This box is intended for display and storage purposes with a genuine Lesney Products model only.
Please do not pay before we send you an invoice. After all items upon which you
intend to bid have closed, you may ask for an invoice. For deliveries outside
of the US,
we will make sure that proper, lowest cost combined shipping is applied. For
domestic deliveries, waiting for the invoice will ensure that all of the items
you have won are captured and combined in one package.
It is understood that all images of items used in this listing are of original, genuine Lesney products. Only the model itself is being offered for sale in this listing unless expressly stated otherwise in the description. The box is a gratuity.
2. Grading:
VNM = Very Near Mint. The paintwork is, for all practical purposes, close to new. Original factory flaws will be noted in the listing if they exist. All original accessories are present.
NM =
Near Mint. Restoration unnecessary. The paintwork is nearly perfect,
clean, shiny and bright on all exterior surfaces (except for possibly
the base, if painted). Original
paintwork approaches 100% with the possible
exception of any factory paint flaws, minor restoration of storage related
paint work issues, or very minor storage (not impact) wear.
Negligible rolling use of the wheels may be
present. The model is mechanically perfect. All original appliques and
accessories are present.
EXC = Excellent. Minor
paintwork and/or applique imperfections may exist, usually due to
improper storage, not play, and will be evident in the photos. Paintwork
imperfections may have been restored. Decals or other appliques may
have been replaced with replicas. For this grade, no mechanical problems
exist, including windows, if applicable, and no such repairs have ever
been performed, in our opinion. Minor wheel use may be evident. All
original accessories are usually present for this grade. If not, what is missing or replaced with replica parts will be disclosed.
