A collection of five items related to fire service history and memorabilia. The lot includes three framed plaquettes featuring etched or foil-stamped illustrations of historic fire vehicles on black backgrounds. The first plaque, framed in gold-tone, depicts a 1904 German-built motorized turntable ladder, inscribed “1904 IN DEUTSCHLAND GEBAUTE ERSTE VOLLMASCHINELLE KRAFTDREHLEITER DER WELT.” The second plaque, framed in silver-tone, illustrates a modern “HYDRAULIC PLATFORM.” The third plaque, framed in gold-tone, depicts a “1914 DENNIS MOTOR FIRE-ENGINE,” consistent with market examples identified as West Sussex Fire Engine wall decor. Also included is a wooden presentation shield dedicated to the “SOUTH YORKSHIRE COUNTY FIRE SERVICE,” featuring a metal dedication plate inscribed “J.R. NICHOLLS 17-3-58 TO 15-10-89.” The collection is completed by one heavily detailed scale model of a vintage red fire engine, likely constructed from cast metal or resin, featuring hose reels and equipment.
