FOR SALE: Hard To Find Crane Bottom - SOLD

Post by Shawn »

Here we have an exceedingly high-quality, hard to find crane that is mostly complete. All that needs to be found or made is the top. This one is cool because it requires absolutely no modification, screws, cuts or anything to the machine to be used. My good friend, and avid researcher George Paul let me know that it is described in U.S. Patent No.855,978, issued to Victor Rapke. The support was used for TWO different cranes: both shown in the patent - of which I've included pictures in this listing. Isn't the bottom crazy version of this crane great!!!!

This would be a well worth while project to complete. I have seen the top part of this crane at shows, but never this bottom part. This one has all its original screws, and pretty darn good nickel. It will clean up nice.

Priced at SOLD.

The final price is plus the cost of shipping only. If you have interest, please contact me at:

Thank you!
