With the help of some new friends on this site such as Rory (gameswat) and others the restoration project of my Exhibit Supply Imperial is done. There are still a few things, I could use to make it 100% Like a better Crane boom, coin box, and the original cast feet. I think you'll agree it's a piece...

Here is more information, this article published in Jan. 1937 mentions the Imperial.

The NEW Exhibit Supply Digger was introduced in 1936.

That is the 1936 Exhibit Supply catalog. Best photo I have. (from an old auction)
There is the New Imperial on the cover.

I'm looking for this, if someone has one they will part with.

Hi all, The pictures below are from my collection - the IMPERIAL is a stunning art-Deco machine. If you look carefully at Paul's machine, you will notice there are two signs on the left and right of the ships bow. They are, on the left, all the patents for the machine and on the right instructions....

The backgrounds I've seen were hand painted. Possibly some creative license was exercised.

The Imperial has the front of the ship but not the casting of the ships bridge behind it.

Hi
It's NOT a Merchantman but a more rare crane made at the same time called IMPERIAL. Though not easily seen in the photos, the name is on the cast emblem on the front near the bottom.

There were 2 styles of posters used as background.

One was a night scene the other a day scene
