Reg showed those Three Lone-Star models to me at the toy fair and they are truly superb examples. The Yellow Pick Up is stunning in hand and as I said to Reg, I have never seen a Yellow example and I have been mixing it it with the Lone Star brand for many Years now, truly a wonderful early model and a hint to what Lone Star could have continued to develop.
