HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE, VINTAGE, FULLY TIN, REMOTE CONTROLLED, CLOCKWORK \"AUTOMATIC DOCK-YARD CRANE\" WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY BY BILLER, AKA, HANS BILLER AND COMPANY. LUIOBWI = LIGHTLY USED IN ORIGINAL BOX WITH INSTRUCTIONS.I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO. I HAVE OWNED THIS DOCK-YARD FOR WELL OVER 4 DECADES NOW (AND QUICKLY APPROACHING 5) AND I HAVE DECIDED TO START SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE MODELS, TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS, ETC.....HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, COMPLETE AND FULLY WORKING DOCK-YARD CRANE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!THIS IS THE ONLY BILLER \"REMOTE CONTROL\" DOCK-YARD HERE ON E-BAY THAT IS 100% COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL ... WORLDWIDE! SO I GUESS ONE COULD CALL THIS RARE WITHOUT IT COMING BACK AT YOU! AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION/SHAPE. THE ONLY ISSUE BEING THAT SOME TAPE HAS BEEN USED TO HOLD SOME OF THE END FLAPS ONTO THE BOX. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE BRIGHT AND STILL VERY COLORFUL... THIS DOCK-YARD (AND THE BILLER HELICOPTER THAT I HAVE LISTED) WAS GIFTED TO ME BY MY DAD, SO MANY YEARS AGO. GROWING UP WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE AS CHILDREN AS MY DAD TRAVELED AROUND FOR WORK AND SPENT A LOT OF HIS TIME DOING OUTSIDE SALES. NOT JUST HERE IN THE STATES, BUT, ABROAD AS WELL. OVER THE YEARS HE GOT TO KNOW A BUNCH OF MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVES AND DID A LOT OF SHOWS WITH THESE FOLKS OVER THE DECADES.THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE \"HOMECOMING\" GIFTS. MOST OF THE TIME THEY (MY PARENTS) PUT THESE AWAY TILL A SPECIAL OCCASION, LIKE A BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS AND THEN THEY DUG THROUGH THEIR STASH AND ASSIGNED NAMES TO CERTAIN PILES. THIS ONE NEVER MADE IT TO THE HOLIDAYS!THE TIN DOCK-YARD CRANE IS 100% COMPLETE, ORIGINAL AND IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER/CONDITION! THE BASE HAS A POWERFUL CLOCKWORK ENGINE WHICH CONTROLS THE SPINNING OF THE BASE OF THE CRANE. THIS ENGINE IS FULLY CONTROLLABLE AND HAS A FULL RANGE OF SPEEDS, FROM STOP TO FULL SPEED. THIS IS DONE VIA THE RIGHT HAND CONTROL. IN ADDITION, THIS SPINS A FULL 360 DEGREES AND IS FULLY REVERSIBLE! THE LEFT SIDE CONTROL, ALLOWS YOU TO RAISE AND LOWER THE BOOM OF THE CRANE. THE COMPONENTS ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND CAME WITH THIS CRANE AS NEW. NO CORROSION OR RUST IS LOCATED ANYWHERE ON ANYTHING! ALL-IN-ALL, THIS FULLY TIN REMOTE CONTROL CRANE (LIKE THE HELICOPTER) WAS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME AND TODAY WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE\'S GERMAN TIN TOY COLLECTION, CLOCKWORK MODEL COLLECTION, MODEL TRAIN, BOAT YARD COLLECTION, ETC.... ADD TO THE FACT THAT HERE YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS REMOTE CONTROL CRANE WHICH ARE/WERE PRINTED IN WESTERN GERMANY AND THE ORIGINAL BOX AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT IS RARELY FOUND HERE ON OR ELSEWHERE!I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT\'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS BILLER CRANE WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE\'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO ADD THIS COMPLETE AND FULLY FUNCTIONING BILLER REMOTE CONTROL AUTOMATIC DOCK-YARD CRANE TO YOUR OWN COLLECTION.PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
