You are looking at a super MTH Tinplate Traditions release from the earliest days of MTH--1999.
This one is the best of both worlds--the exact look of the classic Lionel standard gauge cars with the brand new parts and shine of a new item. Put this looker out on display and don't worry about a thing. Let everyone ooh and ahhh.
This is an earlier MTH tinplate item. As such, it is not one you see for sale all that often.

CONDITION: C-8. Could rate as new or C-9 except that the hook ball has some miniscule paint rubs likely from packaging. Otherwise, the crane looks like new to new. BOX is P-7 with some discoloration/staining and creases on edges.
