THIS IS A PRESSED METAL TRUCK CRANE. THE TRUCK ITSELF IS METAL AND THE CRANE AND BOOM ARE PLASTIC. THE HOOK IS A SOLID CAST PIECE OF BRASS. THERE ARE NO MARKINGS EXCEPT MADE IN JAPAN ON THE BOTTOM. ANY INFO ON AGE,VALUE AND MANUFACTURER WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS.
Hi there! I have a toy crane just like this and am wondering if you ever found out the manufacturer. Quite the mystery!
NO INFO YET AJ. JUST TOO NICE A PIECE TO PASS UP. POST A PICTURE IF YOU CAN AND MAYBE SOMEONE WILL SEE IT AND LET US KNOW. GOOD LUCK.
Could be an SSS toy sold by Sears in the 60's...
I just bought a dump truck version of this today. Here is a link to my photobucket with the one i bought, another "farm" truck i found and then your three pictures. So far all i have found is the "MADE IN JAPAN" stamp underneath (just barely!)
