<p>[QUOTE="pingis, post: 356948, member: 1726"]Thank you everybody for trying to help me solve this mystery. I have been in touch with THE leading Swedish authority on vintage toys and he told me he didn't know but he guessed it might be American or made in the Soviet Union. I have been looking at pictures after reading your suggestions but everything I find seems more delicate and detailed than my crane. I just had another look at it and it might be a one-off as Carribou's house suggests but even if it is big and heavy it somehow appears to have been mass produced. And - yes, the blue color looks like the blue color of the Swedish flag but I don't think any Swedish toy factory would have the flag in mind when painting toy cranes. I really, really wish this mystery will be solved some day...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
