1/24 FH130 William H Low Co 1890s Rumsey 'Big City' Hose Wagon - Wilo Line Fire Truck
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Very rare. Likely from the 1940s. William H Low Co., of Braintree Mass., issued the 'Wilo Line' which included a superb series of antique commercial firefighting equipment. The scale is given as 1/2" and the finished wagon is a large 7" long (14" with the front carriage bar). The kits were very advanced for the time and shared many of the pre-fabrication methods of Hudson Miniatures. This kit is based on the 1890 prototype of Rumsey's 'Big City' hose wagon. Features plastic injection molded spoke wheels, precut large wooden parts, a sealed bag of smaller parts including a great many fully carved wood with brass chain and metal parts, a variety of metal stock as needed, sandpaper, complete instructions, a photo of the actual hose wagon and full size plans. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag with the non-sealed parts inventoried 100% complete including instructions/plans. The kits in this line include Amoskeag Steamer, Hose Reel, Hose Wagon, Chemical Engine and perhaps others.
