#2500 Austin-Western Crane
Nylint #2500 Austin-Western Telescoping Crane
Most people are a bit surprised at the size of
this toy. It is 27 inches long and very heavy.
The Telescoping Crane was made from 1957
through 1959. There were no production
changes during this period. A green and white
version was introduced in 1959 but was soon
discontinued as few exist today (see link above.)
Truly a great construction toy with plenty of
realistic action!
