[FOLK ART]. Hand-Made Wood and Tin Model of a Fire Engine with Full Hook and Ladder. [Ca. early 20th century]. Hand-painted hook and ladder wood fire engine with metal accents and parts, including fenders and bell. Overall, with dimensions variable. 58 w x 15 h x 8 ?". Truck, 19 ? w x 9 ? h x 8 ?"d and Hook and Ladder, 45 w x 15 h x 8 ?". Elements of the hook and ladder work, but this is a somewhat fragile older work. The string for lifting the ladder is brittle as is the wood, so one must operate slowly with caution. Some wear, soiling, front wheels turn, but not actuated by the steering wheel. Surface dirt. Good condition for age and use. In house pick-up or third-party shipping required.
