No cherry pickers in 1927. So this Rube Goldberg modified Ford "T" was the way to work on those transformers. This is one of 3 diecast Bell Telephone truck models by Liberty Models. Something a bit unusual.

Definitely different, looks like a quality model.

obsessive research I did on the line years ago, lead me to conclude they were too small "to" pass".......they might be just right for 54mm figures

What a beautiful model. New to me. I would love to see the original in action.

@john-barry Do they still make these? I bought this over 20 years ago.

That is an incredible model. I love all the details in the lift and the fact that it really opens up. Excellent! I've seen your photos of this one before, but I've never seen the model available, I've looked a couple of times.

mine just came in....it appears to be identical......of note was the thin piece of hardwood that was screwed though the base and inner box liner....indicative of older packaging materials.......(shown with 54mm figures)
