Attached is a better scan of the hub cap. The writing on the top begins with a"T" and it appears there is an "A" near the end of the writing. On the lower portion of the cap the writing begins with an "N". Hope this gets an identification!

Thank you for the information. I thought the car was most likely a low budget model. Without a rear seat and the platform body I would expect that this car would eventually have a chemical tank mounted on the rear. I'm going to mess around later and try and get a better scan of the hub cap.

Thanks for posting those pictures. The Vancouver F.D. was an early advocate of making the transition to motorized fire apparatus and their newfangled machines kept photographers busy. The two Seagrave rigs shown in the middle of the picture I'm posting were the first motorized fire apparatus built by that firm and were delivered in 1907. The aerial truck on the right was manufactured by Webb using a Couple Gear chassis and is a 1912 delivery. What I don't know is the year, make and model of the Chief's car that is shown in your first photo and the one I have posted. Do you know what it is?

Hello! Another fire chief has a new ride that he can drive and head to blazes in style. If only I knew what it was. As always I would like to know the year, make, model and style of car. The hub cap has lettering above and below. Above begins with a "T" and below starts with an "N". I look forward to hearing from dozens of people! Thank you. Steve

Hi, Thank you for the reply. This one, like all of my others, is from the rather large (60,000 identified and in albums and 10-20 thousand more that aren't identified) collection of fire apparatus photos that I have. I was raised in Cincinnati and the C.F.D. is my favorite. They kept a fairly good record of all vehicles purchased before 1925 but this particular car wasn't given a definite year. All I have is the photo and the information that I provided with the original post. I still would like to establish the year on this car. Anyone else with knowledge to share? As always, thank you for your interest.

keiser31, Thank you for the reply. You seem to know the answer to most of my posts! Steve -
1907 - 1911 Auto - Maybe a Thomas Alliance, Ohio Fire Department
Steve Hagy replied to Steve Hagy's topic in What is it?
Yes the two fire engines in the Alliance photos ae the same machine. Robinson did not make their own chassis in the early years of motorized fire engines. I know that Thomas and Chadwick automobiles were used for some but I don't know which is which or if some other company built the chassis for the Alliance engine. -

Hello, Even I know what a Model T Ford looks like! I'm hoping that there is enough showing in this photo that a year of manufacture can be determined. I know it's a long shot. So, this is from Pandora, Ohio and the fire engine body was built by the Prospect Fire Engine Co. which was located in Prospect, Ohio. Thank you for your assistance. Steve

Hi, I found this photo somewhere on the internet. The car was identified as a 1920 - 1922 Cadillac (Caddy's were a popular choice with Fire Chief's in the teens and twenties). What I would like to know is: Is it a Cadillac, a specific year, and a model. Thank you! Steve
-
Hi! This one is fairly early, I have information from 1911 that mentions this fire engine. So, Engine Co. 2 in Portsmouth, Ohio had this snazzy fire engine that was built by Webb. Thomas chassis were used by Webb often enough that I believe that this will be one. As always I would like to know the make, a year, and a model. As note note of interest. This fire engine hit the scrapper many years ago. however, someone decided that the beautiful eagle-topped bell should be preserved. A friend of mine has the bell in his collection (lucky guy). Take care, Steve

Hello all, Here we have the new ride for the Fire Chief in Medford, Massachusetts. I am clueless about this car, but I sure wish I owned it. I did what I could to enlarge the emblem on the hub cap. As always I would like to know the make (for certain. I hope it's rare), a year (if it can be narrowed down), and a model (I hope this is a rare one too). Thank you! Steve

Hello all, The first of several mysterious fire engines that I plan to post tonight. This one is fairly early, I would say 1910/11 at the latest and 1907 or so as an starting point. The fire engine was built by Webb, who, like many early fire engine manufacturers, used Thomas chassis on a consistent basis. So, is this a Thomas? As always I would like to know the make (for certain), a year (if it can be narrowed down), and a model (so many to choose from). Thank you! Steve

Is this a Lambert? Look again, new photo added!
Steve Hagy replied to Steve Hagy's topic in What is it?
Thank you for the replies. My hope was that this was going to be easy and people would jump on board and say that this was a Lambert. Maybe next time. Here is another photo of a fire engine from the same era (a bit newer) that Howe also built. This picture shows the front end at a better angle than the other picture. Does this help? I would have replied sooner but I had forgotten to turn on e-mail notification of replies.

Hi! Hopefully everyone has had enough, or too much, turkey and dressing so that more important activities (telling me about this photo) can take place. Howe Fire Apparatus was located in Indianapolis, Indiana when this pumper was built for East Peoria, Illinois around 1908-1910. The automobile that was used to build this, and other early Howe apparatus, is supposedly a Lambert. Could anyone confirm this and if a year and model can be determined I would really like to have that information. Thanks! Steve Who ate all the pumpkin pie!!

Hi, Another automobile turned fire engine. This one is from Glenwood, New York and looks to be an early, fancy car. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

Hi, A conversion from an automobile to a fire engine. Pretty common in the U.S. during the time period of this hose wagon. Assuming the name plate on the front is correct, I would like to know the year and model of this Buick. Thanks! Steve
