Matchbox Lesney King Size Number K14 Taylor Jumbo Crane, Made In England

Description: This Matchbox Lesney King Size Number K14 Vintage Taylor Jumbo Crane is in exceptional condition for being over 50 years old. I was taught early on by my parents to take good care of all my toys. My parents never allowed me to take my Matchbox cars, trucks or associated Matchbox playsets outside. When I was not playing with my Taylor Jumbo Crane, I was required by my parents to roll it up in wrapping paper and place it with all my other King Size Matchbox vehicles in one of several plastic shoe box containers for safe keeping. By following these rules, I was rewarded with additional Matchbox items. The driver’s (right) side view of the Taylor Jumbo Crane is shown in the first attached high resolution photograph. This image shows the crane’s brilliant gold color, its tinted windows, side air vents and red wheel hubs and black tires. The crane’s gold boom extends beyond the front cab compartment and has a silver metal hook that is connected by a white flexible plastic rod to the end of the boom. The base of the boom is painted in red. The passenger’s (left) side view of the Taylor Jumbo Crane is shown in the second attached high resolution photograph.
