1966 Commercial gift set

[Toyman316]

Any rare or hard to find model should be double checked. . There are a lot of models that have been copied. I have several rare models and and I have seen questions on most of them at one time or another.. Most of my rare models were purchased from John Gay or Geoffrey Leake and I also dealt with Model Road and Rail in the early 1980's, Don

There's a couple of well respected pre-internet names from the past.

Over and over, we keep seeing the mint green crane from gift sets found in Canada.

Is there enough information on the forum to have a World map showing locations where certain models are being found, discovered or originally sold, might make interesting viewing with I suspect North America becoming quite populated.

I started a thread to this end on Lefora and it went absolutely nowhere!

I do believe this was a Canadian Christmas order as the man whom had it for years and never played with it received
as a Christmas present.and it was bought from Woodward Stores .. I am asking 2000 pounds for this one. Don

That's a really low figure. The last nice mint green crane I saw change hands went for double that (just a crane, no set). I watched someone buy one with the tip of the boom broken off and play wear on the paint and they paid $1,000 USD for the tatty broken model. The last gift set, sold in that condition with a normal green crane, sold for 750.00 pounds sterling. Let's not be ripping off members with very low ball offers. the asking price is already a great deal.
