I will sell mine. It's a "1950 Four Wheel Drive Pole Digger/Derrick Truck" 1/25 scale, made by the Yorkshire Company in Ellwyn, Illinois, 1985. Looks exactly like photo posted by Joe. Condition is as new in box. Box has very slight tear. Labeled "New Second Edition". This was part of a four truck set. Also came as a desk pen display. I found it at an antique flea market in Richmond, Virginia several years ago. These are rare and are no longer being made. Heard one was on the internet for $500. Would like to get $175 or best offer for mine. Post response and phone number here.
Also, a junk yard near me (mid-atlantic) has an original Bell Telephone truck. Pretty rough but possibly restorable. Chasis-cab only. One of the few trucks I have seen with the rear shock option. He say's it ran when he got it seven years ago. He's asking $1000. I would buy it if I had the money, even if just for parts.
