Description
This is a DINKY SUPERTOYS #970 COLES MOBILE CRANE, NR-MINT MODEL (DETATCHED CORD), EXC BOX! THE MODEL RATES A SOLID C-9 WITH NO SIGNS OF PLAYWEAR AND BRIGHT GLOSSY PAINT. THE CORD WHICH CONTROLS THE BOOM HAS BECOME DETATCHED AND NEEDS TO BE RESTRUNG. THE BOX IS A BRIGHT C-8 WITH ONE SPLIT CORNER LIMITING IT’S GRADE. OVERALL, THIS IS A VERY NICE COMPLETE EXAMPLE OF THIS POPULAR MODEL. PLEASE NOTE: ANY KING SIZE MATCHBOX MODELS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 1964-1971, THE TIRES TEND TO LOOSEN FROM THE HUBS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CONDITION OR WEAR, BUT RATHER WAS HOW THE MODEL WAS MANUFACTURED AND IS A NATURAL BI-PRODUCT OF AGING. THIS APPLIES TO EVEN NEW-OLD STORE STOCK MODELS. IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE WAY THE MODEL DISPLAYS AND HAS ALREADY BEEN FACTORED INTO EACH MODEL’S RESPECTIVE VALUE. WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN VINTAGE DIECAST TOYS, THE REEDED EDGE IS BACK WITH A FRESH COLLECTION OF BOXED MODELS WHICH WE WILL FEATURE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH GRADING VINTAGE DIECAST, WE UTILIZE THE STANDARD C-1 TO C-10 SCALE WITH C-1 BEING SAND-BOX CONDITION SUITABLE FOR PARTS OR RESTORATION ONLY, AND C-10 BEING PERFECTION. WE GRADE VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND POINT OUT ALL VISIBLE FLAWS-THERE WILL BE NO SURPRISES. ALSO ANY RESTORATIONS OR TOUCH-UPS WILL BE NOTED, SO PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change.
