Prewar standard gauge Lionel 219 crane. White cab, red roof, light green boom. Nickel journals, aluminum plates, and black control knobs. Harder to find than the other colors especially in nice condition. This is all original including the gears, string, and hook. In nice condition, very clean. Not perfect but definitely above average. Light surface rust spot on frame and some paint chipping on boom. Wheels and roll for string all shiny and free of rust. Works as it should, I oiled gears. Check out the photos. Track is for display purposes for photos, but if you want some track let me know and I’ll include a few pieces. Listing most variations of the 219 check out my other listings.

I believe this crane is all original and it is solid. It shows light wear and some scratches. The car has all its journals, handrails, and gearing. Please use the photos as part of the description. All the knobs work for turning the base, lifting the boom, and operating the hook. The boom is a little bit slanted, but it could be adjusted. The crane comes with the original weighted hook, and it is attached to a wire line.

Use the pictures to determine condition for yourself. All of the gears and knobs work, the boom raises and lowers the cab spins around 365° and the hook string raises and lowers however, it could use new string. The string is very brittle probably original it breaks every time I try to tie the hook to it.
