MARKLIN LIVE STEAM FIRE TRUCK

Sign In to see what this sold for

Germany, c. 1912, considered by every book catalog the finest in Marklin's range of toy perfection. It is a stunning masterpiece in overall detail, from bright hand painted open frame with exposed boiler, to its many added appointments; it is a pleasure to present this museum quality example from Don's shelves. Powered by live steam and produces pressure to release water from valves, the intricate gear work in open frame is a marvel of ingenuity, side hose reel frame repaired, one small door handle replaced, an all original piece. It has been noted that less than five are known of to date. Figures added to truck. 18" l.

Missing hoses, replaced lights, repair at side board weld, overall (Exc. Cond.)
