The Yankee Traveling Crane on
Wheels was built by the Stutz Mfg. Corp. in Brooklyn in the
mid-1930's. It is believed to be the forerunner of 2 additional
diggers which also featured an overhead trolley rather than a
traditional crane boom and jib; they are the rare Traveling
Crane made by Buddy Sales, Co. and, later, the successful
Electro-Hoist made by the Star Mfg. Co.
This particular Yankee Traveling
Crane is shown as-found, on an iron stand, and in excellent
working condition. It has a 2-cent coin mechanism and has not
been restored.
