Sound the alarm for another incredible, highly curated first responder historical collection! This multi-piece estate lot brings together a wonderful variety of vintage fire department memorabilia, including rare commemorative items, vintage publishing, local Ohio interest collectibles, and unique utility displays. It is a fantastic instant package for historical collectors or anyone outfitting a themed showcase. This substantial 6-piece collector lot includes: National Fallen Firefighters Memorial History Book: A massive, premium hardcover coffee table book published by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Featuring a vibrant red cover adorned with a heavy, multi-dimensional gold-and-black metal Maltese Cross emblem on the front, this thick volume stands as a beautiful tribute piece. 1970s Avon "First Volunteer" Fire Engine Decanter (New in Box): A vintage Tai Winds Cologne decanter sculpted out of shiny gold-toned glass in the shape of an old-fashioned horse-drawn steam pumper. It comes beautifully preserved inside its custom protective styrofoam inserts and the original decorated red "First Volunteer" retail cardboard box. Arcanum Fire Company 1986 Commemorative Ash Tray: A highly unique piece of local Ohio history! This fine white porcelain ash tray features a detailed center graphic of an 1881 Ahrens fire engine, produced for the Central Western Firemans Association Convention held on June 28, 1986. The bottom is hand-numbered 19/100, marking it as a rare limited-edition piece. Fire Department Maltese Cross Coin Bank & Clock Combo: A heavy vintage desk accessory shaped like a traditional fire department badge. The front face functions as an adjustable clock with hour and minute hands, while the metal base features a clever slot underneath to act as a coin savings bank. 1952 Wonder Books "The Brave Firemen and the Firehouse Cat": An authentic mid-century children's picture book with a washable hardback cover. Filled with gorgeous vintage illustrations, the reverse side features the iconic green Wonder Books logo. Vintage "Hero" Fire Extinguisher Collectible Tin Can: A classic, small decorative tin container styled after a retro "Hero Fire Extinguisher" canister, complete with vintage typography and its original textured metal top lid. Condition Report: This entire collection comes straight out of a clean local estate and is in excellent vintage condition. The Avon decanter is pristine and unused inside its original box. The limited-edition Ohio ash tray is immaculate with zero chips or cracks, and the hand-painted numbers are perfectly clear on the bottom. The hardcover memorial book features a strong spine, and the 1952 children's book shows completely normal, light surface wear on the corners and edges consistent with its 70+ year age. The metal clock bank and tin canister show minor surface patina that adds to their authentic vintage character. The entire lot is sold completely AS-IS. Please take a look through all of our close-up gallery photos to see the exact limited-edition numbering, original boxes, and gorgeous illustrations before placing your bid!
