    An exciting find from today's fabulous fleas. I had not seen this one before and it is a beautiful mint model.
    The Shand-Mason Horse-Drawn Fire Engine was made from 1960 through 1965. I think the box is from the later years of the run but not exactly sure when. Information on the Yesteryear boxes is a bit inexact.
    Apparently this is some sort of steam operated fire pumper. Many of the older Yesteryears involved steam power. There were even a couple locomotives in the line. The brass piece is the steam engine on this one.
    Got a big haul today. Plenty more to share in the next week or two so be sure to stay tuned to this website.

      Terrific horse drawn fire engine, I can picture it speeding down Baker Street past Sherlock Holmes' office!
