This was not the only late 1800's item they had. One was a working

Guess kids were tougher back then. They won't even let them run out

That's a pretty cool looking fire engine, Dave.  If it's geniune, it's
likely from about 1870 to very early 20th Century - after that the
cast iron toymakers tended to produce fire trucks.

Keep in mind two things:  An official receipt means nothing.  It could
be forged.  The other thing is that with there are a lot of
reproductions out there.  These guys are very good at making repros
look "old" - complete with worn paint and nicks and scratches -
sometimes only an expert can tell that something's not old.

My parents ran an antique shop and they always had people asking for a
"certificate of authenticity" for an old object, and my father took
great pains to tell them that they were useless - which rarely
satisfied potential customers.

Nice pic, and no matter how old it is, it's a very nice toy, Dave!

cheers,
frank

She has gazed upon it and has been approved, although reluctantly.:-)

For those that inquired, i paid $250 Canadian for it.
I located the official receipt which had slipped from my pocket on the
truck floor. It says' "1880 cast iron fire truck ladder wagon and
single horse".

I sent the photo to a friend still working at my old survey company(he
is the only stereo plotter they have, so he's safe for a while) and is
up on this old stuff, and he guesstimated $500 or there abouts.

The auctioneer started at $300, but went down, as they ususually do,
then, it went up.

I left before the rugs went on auction.:-)

One other item i was planning on bidding on, but I left after winning
the wagon, was a set of 200 jello car coins and holder. I was more
interested in it, but, i over extended myself.

Wonder what they went for.

The auction had a LOT of stuff that was from very early 1900's and
before. It was the auctioneer that said the date, mid 1800's. The
wagon appears repainted., the horse not.

You said it is from the mid 1800s, "so I'm told". Finish looks way too good for

It does not look like it has, the wagon is fully painted, the horse
has some paint chips off it, but no chips or dings in the unit.

There was just two  bidding, me and the ex fire chief. I really did
not want to go as high as i did, but he has to many expensive toys as
it is.:-)

David, looks a very nice fire truck indeed, and I really wonder how high 
went the price...


Went to a car auction some time ago, looking for a usable carcass to 
re-new my ride, but came out empty handed - there is something evil that 
possesses the audience and makes them keep raising the price again and 
again...

ok, are we going to see more pics of the fire truck

Saw this on the web site for the auctioneer, thought it would be neat
to have. It is from the mid 1800's, so I'm told. Cast iron fire truck,
so to speak.

Thought i might pick it up for $30-50 dollars.

I was wrong.

Never go to auctions by ones self.

OK - how much *DID* you spend?  The condition looks great.  Is it 
original or has it been repainted?

I went to an auction Saturday, just North of town.

Its the first one i have attended in probably 10-12 years.
