<p>[QUOTE="Jason Pferdeort, post: 355272, member: 5630"]Hello everyone! I checked under MFZ and GAMA on Worthpoint - nothing appears to be this crane. I also checked Marklin. I thought that possibly it was from a crane train car. I thought Meccano thinking it may have come from a building set - but that didn't turn up a match either. The main lead clue I think is that it does not have windows. Almost all the toy cranes I've seen are made with a boom which is attached to a small operating "house". I agree, the "box look" does match other German toy cranes but the wheels to operate the crane are similar to Lionel train cranes (but they were not solid). I hope someone can take these thoughts and run with it to answer OP's questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
