I saw the piece at the local Hallmark over last weekend. Not the best they've done, I'd say. I'm not sure how common a straight chemical wagon was, carrying no hose load except the booster reel.
Also, there is a squirrel-tail suction wrapped around the front, but no detail which would indicate this rig is a pumper, which, in 1908, it likely would not be.
I also wonder about the lack of any running board or back step behind the rear fenders.
If there was a specific prototype for this truck I'd like to know what and where it was.
