BUDDY L No. 646 FIRE & CHEMICAL TRUCK

BUDDY L NUMBER 646 PRESSED STEEL FIRE AND CHEMICAL TRUCK. c.1949 Wow! Original condition with original box. Probably new old store stock, I don't think this toy looks like it was ever played with! Approximately 22.5 inches long. Has a hand crank siren mounted in the cab which does spin freely and makes a racket but I don't know just how much it sounds like a real siren. I imagine many moms sent their boys outside to get away from the noise! Includes the original ladders which hook together to form a long extension ladder and includes the "fire extinguisher" which doubles as a squirt gun! (For the sake of preventing any future rusting, I did not try to load the squirt gun with water to test operation!) When you think that water was a part of this toy, it makes the condition even more exciting. The photos pretty well tell the story. Exceptional original condition. How often do you find any boy's toy of this age in this condition let alone still having the separate ladders and fire extinguisher?

The box is complete with all flaps and only open on one end.

TOY GRADE C 8-9 BOX GRADES C-7+ PRICE: $1200.00
