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.

Saw them yesterday at my local Hallmark store. Not particularly impressed either. Will wait until after Christmas and pick up one at 50% off!
