Very nice Dan, one I have yet to find. Seems to be a few in the USA.

Hi,

nice Jumbo Crane with black wire in lovely condition! @ Brad Pittiful

Is it much rarer than the one with white wire?

Here is mine. Found it for 4£ at a small toy fair near Hamburg.

The one with white wire ist still missing :roll:

Greetings,
Linus

These black wired cranes are easily found on Ebay.de.
I had seen more than 5 sell in the past year.

It is always a good day when you can add a variation that you have been after. Sometimes weeks go by without making any additions.
The black wire version is not easy to come by in mint condition and it took me many years to finally acquire one. That was the last variation
of the K14 that I needed; now I have two. I am happy for you, enjoy.
