The Straddle Carriers made by the Druge Brothers Manufacturing Co. of Oakland, California came in two sizes. Their literature
refers to them as the 6" version and the 12" version. This listing is for the 12" version. The Druge Brothers Manufacturing Co. went out of business after producing just two toys - their only products - this is one of them.The Hyster Straddle Truck by Druge #51 is a well engineered toy, It duplicated the four-wheel sterering an...d loading action of its real counterpart!This is the 12" version demensions.12-1/4" long 5-1/2" depth 8-1/2" height I do my best to describe and show the condition in the photos BUT I am no expert so please check my photos closely. Condition: Good for its age.The wheels all roll fine, no steering wheel control. The carrier mechanisms are there and need tinkering to be moved up and down to different heights, I'm not good at it. Paint and decals are good with some wear, chipping.
Thank you for looking
