No one had any comment on Dan's rare early casting braceless 30C Crane he showed us with axle rust. Nice picture of a rare casting Dan! That is a tough casting variation to find here in the U.S. in my opinion. It took me years to get my first example with the help of nearlymint Jason, but I still check the base on hundreds of these 30Cs on E Bay and also at shows every year. Is that force of habit or pure GREED?? (Sent from our ancient Dell in the Cave) kwakers

thanks Dick...it was one i immediatly thought of as i remember it was in pretty good condition but the axles were rusty...i wasnt trying to showboat my braceless crane

back in the summer i had one i was watching on ebay and it was flawless and at a 9 dollar starting bid i was hoping to get it...well i forgot about it when the auction ended and missed getting it...as no one bid it was relisted...and of course someone put a bid on it early on...i was kicking myself now...so nearing the auction end i bid 15 dollars...and didnt beat the original bidders price...oh well..i keep telling myself...i have one...but a minty one that got away still bother me
