I would say it's a repainted one but it was the colour of it that made me look at the listing and spot the high pins
I'll post better pictures when they arrive

Those cranes are a great find Reg. As Greg said, they could have been together since they left the factory (that would be a nice thought) or possibly they were in a collection gathered over time that someone has unwittingly split up/sold on. These are not easy to find so hooking one is a great job, but two is downright greedy :D

Two variants of the high pin crane Reg - forward facing hook and rear facing hook - you'll have to keep both now! :o

The rear facing one is damaged looks like it's been used as a teething chew that's why it faces back

Those 'High Pin' cranes make-up for the lack of Firenza models in your collection, eh Reg... :D
