Very nice and I agree with Dan. I did have one with an outline of the high pin hole visible, but the hole was filled in.

They're like hens' teeth. I know of two: mine and one that Numi bought off Ebay.

i saw one on ebay last year...but my funds were such that i couldnt bid on it

I know that Nick had recently sold a used one on E Bay Dan, is that the one you saw or another? I have mine from a swap with Jason that is used, and Hardy has one in all yellow as a pre-pro model for sale. I would have called them all a pre-pro 2 years ago, but with these numbers known just on our Forum, I now believe them to have been more factually a very early design. The design was quickly changed after a very short production time, so 'Rare' is probably the right term rather than overlooked on this one. kwakers

no Dick it wasnt Nicks...if memory serves me correct...it was in a lot...it was a fairly big lot and went for more than the 20 dollars i couldve spent

oh i forgot kernelklink just sold one in a BIN for $260 bucks

[Lrrp59]

kernnelkink, a seller whom I've purchased from before had one for sale a week or so ago. I believe $230.00 was the bin.
Went very quickly.

That is at least 7 our small group have knowledge of, if I add one for Jason who I know has at least one in his collection. If we add a stock color high pin for Hardy, it goes to 8 that we 6 collectors know of right now without too much thought. Is the picture of the mint one shown here Mathias yours? If it is, it is a beauty! That would be another to add that would make 9 known by a small group of Forum members. I still feel they are a rare early production, and I also have lots of positives for kernnelklink who I have bought from. I have not updated my favorite Sellers yet here on the Forum, but must add he and Chris from Kentucky with a few others. The price seems fair for that early casting of this Crane. Cheers! kwakers
