Holt 75 Track-Type Tractor "Holt Manufacturing Company"

The Holt 75 Track-Type Tractor "Holt Manufacturing Company" in 1:48th scale was in 2015 released by CCM.

Earlier in 2020 I got the oppertunity from a very good friend, Butch Diggins from Keystone Construction Diecast, in America to become the very rare Holt 75 Track-Type Tractor. Without any doubt THE number ONE on my must have missing scale models in my Caterpillar collection. This handmade brass construction precision scale model is made in a limited edition of only 75 pieces in 2002 by Classic Construction Models (CCM) in scale 1:48 in the "Tractor Holt Mfg Co Byron P. Hunter" Edition.  

But besides that small number there have also been released 300 pieces Holt 75 in a "Holt Manufacturing Company" versions for the Caterpillar dealer HOLT. Butch did have #113 from the Holt dealer serie which unfortunately was not quite more whole and complete and which also lacked the luxurious gift box and the signed certificate. But still a unique opportunity .....

..... and so after (very) brief consultation with Ad we decided to take up the challenge to bring this Holt 75 "Holt Manufacturing Company" the Netherlands and restore it and restore it back to its former glory.And I can already tell you: I have not regretted it !!!

Special thanks to Ad!
