I am starting this thread to gather knowledge about the Noble Manufacturihg Company and the hoist and Derrick that he designed, built and marketed until A.C. Gilbert took over the product. I know that Mr. Noble was a mechanical engineer who built the hoist and Derrick for his son. It is far and away the finest quality toy that I have ever seen. I have a reproduction copy of the TruModel fourteen page brochure. I will post photos of it. I hope that someone knows more details about the company and a parts list would be helpful. I do look forward to this thread growing.
