Description

Structo Tin Mobile Crane Truck w/ Boom & Clamshell – All Original, 1959–62

This vintage Structo tin mobile crane, produced circa 1959–62, appears to be all original and features the classic orange operator cab, dark teal truck body, Structo-marked wheels, and the correct two-section lattice boom. The toy retains its dual crank system and its original tin clamshell bucket, a component often missing on surviving examples. Bold STRUCTO CRANE and MOBILE CRANE graphics remain visible, and the crane’s proportions and detailing are consistent with Structo’s mid-century construction line. A complete example like this is increasingly scarce and displays beautifully.

A strong addition for collectors of American pressed-steel toys, offering both nostalgic charm and mechanical visual interest.

Condition:
In good condition with scratches, scuffing, signs of use, and scattered dings and visible dents. No remarkable damage noted. Wear is consistent with age, and components appear original throughout. Please review the photos for a complete visual assessment.
