how about this for a rare Gescha Piece

Post #1 by topkit » Thu Jul 19, 2012 9:55 pm

I have got a fair few obsolete models for sale thought i would share this little Gem
It's a Piece by Gescha so around 1974-5 note it's a Poclain 60 and not the 90 it's in Australian mining company Barriquand Colours, In over 30 years of collecting i have only ever come across two of these and a Poclain 160 in the same colours.

i have only ever saw 1 for sale since i started collecting ,it`s a rare model .pity they put 60 decals on it as the 60 was the only poclain with a single piece bonnet.

It's not an Australian compagny, but a french compagny. Now they belong to the big VINCI http://www.barriquand.fr/pages/societe/societe_historique.php

this model is a 90 Poclain, 60 have been put on the carriage to celebrate the 60th birthday of the compagny. I hope you understand what I mean (sorry for my poor english)

Thank you for the information Pascal, that would explain things better as Poclain were french i would have thought some models would have been produced in French company colours. You have a great collection i have just had a look.

there is not many model produced in french compagny colours. I know the 350 Bastets, i've seen a 90 P EJL, but I think it's a custom model.
