IN A CLASS APART WITH PATENTED GEAR-SHIFT, WHICH ASSURES THE UTMOST SPEED OF MANIPULATION. This ad was carefully removed from a 1927 issue of a popular construction industry magazine. Page size is approximately 8-1/2” wide x 11-1/4” high, and is ideal for framing. DESCRIPTION: ”DESIGNED - MADE - SOLD -DISTRIBUTED and OWNED SOLELY BY MOORE SPEEDCRANE COMPANY.” With ever increasing sales. THE MOORE SPEEDCRANE LATER BECAME THE FAMED MANITOWOC SPEEDCRANE. Nicely illustrated with 2 b&w photos of a MOORE SPEEDCRANE with Clamshell, and one converted to a Shovel. CONDITION: This outstanding MOORE SPEEDCRANE magazine advertisement is in near-perfect condition. Printed on excellent quality low gloss paper, far better than you would expect from this era. The only imperfection that I see, is that the paper has yellowed very slightly from 81 years of age ... otherwise this ad would be close to ‘perfect’ ... almost as good as the day it was printed. Excellent photos, extremely clean, no tears or marks, excellent edges, no mildew or water damage, and has been in excellent dry storage for many years. ”SAMPLE” will not appear on the actual ad, it is only on the scanned image. SHIPPING & HANDLING: Winning bidder to pay $3.00 S&H via USPS FIRST-CLASS MAIL PACKAGE rate (non-machinable). I USUALLY MAIL ONLY ON TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, unless you have a special request. Your item will be mailed FLAT, carefully packed in a double envelope with a cardboard stiffener in the inner envelope ... the cardboard stiffener makes it non-machinable but assures you it will arrive in excellent condition. Optional postal insurance is $1.70, available in the U.S. only. I am happy to mail WORLD WIDE. Outside the U.S. will be at the FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONAL rate plus $1.50 packing cost. I will be glad to combine with other auction wins to keep your mailing cost at a minimum ... 2 or 3 items can usually be mailed for the cost of one!
