GENERAL INFO

Released in 1961 as the C boxes were also appearing, the 30B was never packaged in B boxes. The first C box has the model way to the left of the picture, with rear bumper over the left end of the scroll, and numbers away from scroll. The second variation has the model centered, but lower, with numbers closer to the model.

D boxes, both in D1 and D2, show the model in silver with orange crane and silver wheels.

RARITY

C boxes are less common for this model.
