LEGO 804-2 Building Crane is a Samsonite Basic Set released in 1964, containing 64 pieces. The set builds a small crane model using early LEGO elements such as bricks without bottom tubes and pieces with cross supports, reflecting the construction style of the period. It was manufactured by Samsonite and sold exclusively in the United States and Canada. The set was packaged on a cardboard backing rather than in a traditional box. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $208 within the next year.
Building Crane (804-2) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $192.74 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1964, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Building Crane at this time.
