GENERAL INFO
An interesting model for the box collector, the 10A Tractor Shovel was first made available in 1963 in a D box, showing the model in a pale green with grey driver and what appears to be light green wheels as well, mounted on black tires.
There are actually two E boxes for this model. The first, an E1 sub-type, shows the mode in a darker green color than the D box, with green wheels as well. The background shows a second model at work, as we can see a side/rear view of it.
The second variation, an E3 sub-type, show a large picture if the model with only dirt below it and no sophisticated background. The model also shows red wheels instead and has a darker green color.
RARITY
The E3 box is one of the rarest E boxes for King Size model, probably as rare as the 3A E box. Other boxes for the 10A are quite easy to find for boxed models.
