    Description

    Up for sale are a collection of 3 Vintage TONKA Fire Trucks.  Disclaimer I'm not a toy expert, I did my research at realpriceguides.com/tonka.  Each item description as follows:
    Aerial Ladder Fire Truck (Trailer Only)
    Model number 0048 and is the Hydraulic Ladder
    According to website the hydraulic version was made in 1958-1959
    Trailer length is 24" when ladder is all the way down and roughly 38" when ladder is fully extended.
    The Ladder base swivels, and hydraulic pistons are present and still work well.
    The Ladder still has strings from rewinder attached and it will extend and retract with a little help.  Needs some lube.
    Both wheels are good.  The swivel for the ladder base does have some wobble/play.  The ladder has some bending, and the truck itself has a couple spots of minor bending.
    Paint is decent, with various spots of surface rust.
    There are some parts missing from the trailer, like the other auxiliary ladder, tillerman's seat and i believe there were a couple hand rails
    Overall, I'd call the condition of the remaining parts are pretty good.  It has normal wear and tare for its age.
    Gas Turbine Pumper Truck
    Model number 0926
    According to website was produced from 1965-1967
    Truck length is 15.5" from bumper to bumper

    Has some surface rust, and some bending especially the back bed rail.
    Hose reel still turns, probably could use lube.  The fire hose is still intact and has hose nozzle.  Hose is very sticky though, but still flexible.
    Plastic window are not cracked
    Paint is pretty good, decals are pretty good, some wear.
    Overall there are a lot of good parts, or could easily be restored.
