Nice original Condition Incredibly tough Gray Roof in C7 EX! This is a piece I don’t mind keeping. Getting incredibly hard to find these and it will only get more difficult as great prewar is getting bought back up and held into collections for decades to come!

Normal playwear of scratches and missing paint. Boom raises and lowers as it should, hook operates as it should, and it rotates as designed to. Has the support system to hold it on track while swing boom out to lift something. Please look at pictures closely and ask questions if need be. I try to describe to the best of my ability. Please look at pictures closely as I’m human and may miss something. Pictures part of the description. So if it can be seen it is part of description. Any problems please contact me first. Once I give it to your carrier of choice I have no control over how/where they send it on it’s way to you. I just had a package go over 3/4 of the main land U. Before it finally got here, and took 10 days using Ground advantage. I offer ground advantage but warn you may have a wait. Out of last 6 packages sent ground advantage 1 got here as schedule. It’s not your local carriers or P. It’s where they do the sorting.
