This a 1:1 replica - made by the Greek company of AA Ananiadis, situated in one of the suburb of Athens. Minor color differences on the boom and shovel - "AA" instead of the "O" at the smoke-stack of the freighter are the most - beside some other to be neglected differences - eye-catching disparities. Solely on the box of the as "Luffing Crane" offered toy it shows a hidden "Made in Greece". Finally - instead using a clockwork this toy is rotated by a hand wheel - right side on the front panel.
