1904 International Fire Engine Co. Ladder Truck Restoration

Our customer just recently finished a big restoration project:

This 1904 International Fire Engine Co. Ladder Truck was brought back to its original glory by the customer and with the help of Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop, who restored the wheels and custom built the seats. He worked on the project on and off for ten years until he just finished it up this fall.
What an amazing piece!
