A Link-Belt Speeder LS-51 crawler crane, approximately 1951-54, operating a clamshell bucket. This I am certain of. More than likely this is Waverly Gravel & Ready Mix. The business opened in 1951, which is right in window for the Link-Belt and portable screening equipment. Best guess 1952.--Nick McCumber,
