Description

I have this one-of-a-kind hand made wooden/tin aerial fire engine. I believe it may be from the '20's but not quite sure. It measures over 54" long and has a number of hand made ladders and associated firefighting tools. Which really adds to the piece. I'd like to get an idea of what it may be worth. Thanks.

Based on the style of it, it is based on gas engined fire trucks of the early years of the 20th century, befroe the 1920's actually ( the famous Model T car came out in 1908). I think though you paid top dollar on this one, we would have trouble in the current market getting what you paid for yours.
