| Ahrens-Fox fire (pump) engine, Hubley, USA, 1950's |
I don't really collect fire engines, but this one caught my attentuion by the spectacular futuristic - art deco design of the toy. From the "chrome" sphere on front of the radiator, it should suposedly be a model of an Ahrens-Fox fire truck (1910-1977). Ahrens-Fox fire engines were produced in Ohio and were recognizable by the chromed sphere above the pump that held air and smoothed the outgoing pressure fluctuations from the piston pump.
