The pictures attached hardly do this item justice,  it is a must see in order to appreciate the many hours involved to capture the authentic detail of an actual fire truck. This is a large item measuring: Height = with ladder 25” and 8½” without the ladder extended. Width = 7¼” Length = 32”     This will be a family heirloom that could be passed down for generations to come.  Imagine how great this would look displayed in your home or office and what a great Christmas or retirement gift it would make. Fantastic intricate details will provide for a great conversation piece. My wife's Father has been making these wooden collectibles for almost 10 years and has run out of room to store all the different pieces. His collection of handmade wooden transportation/equipment is so impressive that the local newspaper devoted an entire page to his collection.  You will not be disappointed.   If you have any further questions or would like to have any more pictures emailed directly please feel free to ask.   Place a Bid!
