DescriptionThis handcrafted fire engine toy is painted in a faded red color and built from a combination of rectangular and cylindrical wood blocks. Four black-painted wooden wheels are attached with metal screws for mobility. The front of the toy features two circular pieces resembling headlights, made from repurposed metal bottle caps. Midway down the body is a mounted spool with twine wrapped around it, representing a fire hose, while the rear includes a raised platform and ladder-like details.On View
