Item Description
Vintage Toy! (Missing load pallet and wood) . Swan-Hill most likely developed their straddle carrier in direct competition with the Druge Bros. toy. Their advertisements stressed things like; "simplified," "shorter-radius steering," "unitized construction" and "tracks by towline" -- points of comparison to the only other straddle carrier out there. As can be clearly seen, the Cari-Car is made up of a simple one-piece casting with separate wheel. Each carrier came with six 3/4" x 1-3/8" x 11" pieces of wood (missing); the steel load pallet is often missing from these toys as well (missing). The carriers slipped into the chassis. 12"w x 8"h Manufactured by Swan Hill of Pleasant Hill,, Calif. USA. US Patent 2502843. One sold online recently for $65.00. One for $45
