This very fine Gunthermann Fire Pumper with its four original hand-painted fireme...n was made around 1900 and measures 8 inches in length. The toy is designed to stop the mechanism when you pick it up and restart when you put the toy down again. A faint sound of the bell may be heard when it moves forward.
There are 2 solder-reinforced tabs under the rear platform of the vehicle, while the gold solder on the side of the boiler is part of the original factory assembly. The middle and rear firemen are removable and both figures have had their small anchoring tab underneath replaced or reattached. Everything is original, except for the steering rod/tiller which appears to be a later replacement. Gunthermann had also produced this fire engine in a smaller, approximately 5 inch version with only 3 figures. Both are very rare, although this is only the second example of their larger version that I have ever seen. It's exceptionally rare.
