We have been alerted to a felony that is being attempted on advertisers of apparatus on this web site and others. The advertiser receives an email similar to the actual text printed below:
"Dear Seller,
I'm interested in purchasing your advertised 1955 ALF Quint and the price $5900 is okay by me. I'm shipping it to cotonou Benin Republic in Africa and if I can pay with a cheque drawn in an America bank. If this is okay with you do get back to me immediately for me to arrange the payment. Concerning the shipment, my shipper will come and pick it up from you location as soon as we seal this transaction. A client of mine is owing me some fund in ($US9,600), I will instruct him to issue a cheque in your name and once the cheque clears, You will deduct the cost of the 1955 ALF Quint plus the tax and my balance will be send back to me via western union money transfer for immediate shipping arrangement. The reason for this is that it takes 3-5 days for a cheque to clear over there while it takes a longer time for a cheque to clear here. If this is okay with you do get back to me immediately with your full name, contact address and phone number for me to instruct my client to issue the cheque in your name. Thanks for your understanding in anticipation.
best regards,
Alan"

This scam goes by various names but the basic operation is to furnish a bank check, the seller deposits the check, pays the excess to the perpetrator and gives the apparatus to his shipper. At a later time, the check comes back as no good or stolen and the seller is out the apparatus and the "excess money" that was sent to the perpetrator. The scam takes various guises but always has the same result.

FOR SALE: 1965 International-Maxim pumper. The drive train of this truck
is in good operating condition. Starts quickly and drives well. The last time I
drove it the brakes went to the floor and I have not determined the problem yet.
It has a I-H Red Diamond 501 CID engine, 750 GPM Hale 2-stage pump, with a 500
gallon tank. The pumper body is in poor condition due to rust issues. I plan to
part the truck out, but thought I would first offer it here in case someone
wants it as is. The price includes all emergency lights, a Sireno siren and
electronic siren with chrome speaker. Most of the chrome rails on the pumper
body are in good condition, and the truck is supposed to pump well. The only
extra equipment to be sold with the truck are the suction hoses and strainer.

FOR SALE: 1925 Ahrens Fox Piston Pumper ORIGINAL.
This is the 1925 Ahrens Fox JS4 from Washington Courthouse Ohio. The truck still
wears its original paint, decoration, and brightwork; which to the advanced
collector; is like a time capsule. The seat was reupholstered in 1988 by Snyders
Auto Restoration in Mount Joy PA, done in leather and horse hair like it was
done originally. The paint has been preserved with a coat of automotive clear.
The gold leaf decoration is worn in spots and you can see the silver leaf under
the tinted varnish, which shows the age of a truck of this vintage. The pump was
rebuilt in 2002 with all new valves, leathers and bearings. All the wiring has
been replaced with the original style cloth-covered wire. It comes complete with
all equipment including the original Ahrens Fox extinguishers, hand lanterns,
one playpipe (Ahrens Fox), and three tips. The truck came with two play pipes
(see delivery photo), several other nozzles, original strainer, pikepole (not
Ahrens Fox), ladders, original hard suction (which we have used and pumped for
hours), original bell, siren, and searchlight, axes, and soft suction. The
Windshield (not on) was purchased from Ahrens Fox in 1937 and does come with the
truck. It also has its original commission plate for Washington Court House,
Ohio still mounted on the splash apron.
The engine received its HPOF (Historic Preservation of Original Features) at the
AACA meet in Moline IL in 2004. That show also won the truck the best prewar
HPOF vehicle of any shows that year, and was presented at the AACA National
meeting in Philadelphia PA. It also won best in class in 2005 at the Cranbrook
Concours in Michigan.
If you are looking for a shiny paint truck, this is not the truck for you. If
you are looking for a museum quality ORIGINAL truck that runs and pumps like the
day it was made, this is the truck for you. This is the nicest surviving piston
pumper. It is our hope that the next owner will cherish this truck for the piece
of fire and automotive history that it is, and continue the legacy of
care-taking that will preserve it for future generations to see. Fire engines
can be restored many times, but they’re only original once. Please contact Ryan

FOR SALE: A 1961 closed cab Seagrave and a 1971 Seagrave
open cab from the same department. They are in excellent condition. I would
really like to see both of these go to someone together but I will separate them
for the right price.
The 1961 has a Detroit 8v71 turbo engine and it was put in this truck in 1982.
It has air brakes and the total miles on the truck are 10,000 original miles. It
runs and drives without any problems. The body is in great shape (see photos).
Minor scratches and nicks on the paint, less than normal for a truck that was in
service for many years. I think the truck was repainted at some time in its
life. It was owned by Dravosburg Pa and was sold to Charleroi in 1982 I got it
about 2 years ago. It has a 1000gpm 2 stage pump that works great. It also
has a separate high pressure pump, but I have never used it. I think it works
but I don't know. It has a 600 gallon poly tank and a 20 gallon foam tank. It
has a foam system on it and on spot chains that were added several years ago. It
has a pre-piped water way for a deck gun.
The 1971 open cab has 5,881 original miles. It has a Detroit 8v71 w/a very loud
jake brake with a switch that has high, low, and off. This one was bought
new by Charleroi in 1971. It has a 1000gpm 2 stage pump that works fine and it
also has a high pressure pump. I don't know if the high pressure pump works or
not. It has a poly tank 500 gallons but there is a hole in the bottom of the
tank that can be fixed. There are 2 crosslays under the booster reel hatch. The
body is in great shape with only a couple of minor problems. 1 - On the officers
side front fender, there is some bubbling of paint approx 2-3 inches, but there
is no rust through. 2 - On the front of the cab below the drivers side door,
there is a small rust crack. I believe this is like a compression crack and it
hasn't gotten any bigger in many years. This one also has some minor scratches
and nicks from normal use.
All of the lights, sirens, air horns, signals, and spot lights work as they
should on both of the trucks. The tires on both of them are in very good shape
with lots of miles left on them. Both of the trucks come with ladders, 2 hard
sleeves each, the 1971 with a deck gun, 2 air packs on each, and some loose
equipment.
These are 2 very nice Seagraves - probably some of the nicest around. I really
hate to sell them but I need the space for another project. Trucks are
located in Stafford, Virginia.
I will answer all questions and if you need any more photos or information let
me know. dcfd470@comcast.net . Bill at
cell phone 540-903-2320.
$ 22,000.00 for both of them OBO - if you only are interested in one of them let
me know. (05/11/08---08-19)

FOR SALE: 1946 Seagrave Open Cab Ladder Truck that my Dad purchased in 1984 from the Black River Falls, WI Fire Department. It was purchased because he said "my dad never got me a fire truck when I was little, so I bought my own when I grew up." This unit was used in many local parades, and was also used for social functions. The ladders served as a great canopy holder to make a shelter. This truck has been stored for the past ten years or so, and was taken out of storage this summer to once again be put in a local parade. The hydraulic ladder works fine. There is a small water tank on this truck, but we never attempted to use it, so we don't know if that part works or not. Many of the original wooden ladders are also included with this truck. The reason for selling it is that my father is no longer able to drive this vehicle himself. There is a lot of original paperwork included with this vehicle. One paper shows that the original purchase date was October 2, 1946. This unit is currently located in Ingram, WI. He is asking $7,500.00 OBO. Phone : 715-322-4417 Duane. (09/27/07)

FOR SALE: An 1863 Amoskeag steam pumper was in service
with Relief Company #9 of the Pittsburgh Fire Department. The Amoskeag
manufacturing company of Manchester, New Hampshire built this steamer bearing
the serial number 78. The frame resembles the shape of a harp; a single vertical
flywheel is mounted crosswise within the harp frame. The harp frame allowed the
steamer to turn sharp corners that straight frame steamers could not navigate.
The harp frame steamer is also extremely rare. Amoskeag Manufacturing only built
118 harp frame steamers. Only a few are known to exist. To the best of my
knowledge, this is the oldest privately held Amoskeag horse drawn steam pumper
in the world.
The history of this steam pumper started with Relief Company #9 of Pittsburgh in
1863. We do not know when it was pulled out of service or what happened to it
until Mr. Walter Knott acquired it in the mid 1960’s. We can only consider it a
miracle that such an amazing piece of craftsmanship did not go to the World War
II scrap drives as most steam fire engines did. The Amoskeag was on display at
Mr. Knott’s theme park “Knott’s Berry Farm” located in Buena Park, California.
Around 1978 the steamer was once more on the move, the park was expanding and
the steamer went into storage. The steamer was sold to an unidentified
individual. This individual sold the steamer in 1980 to Mr. Ken Freiberg of
Captain Ken’s Firehouse Foods in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ken used the steamer at
trade shows to promote his food products. In 1985, Ken loaned the Amoskeag
steamer to the Firefighters Memorial Museum in Minneapolis, MN. It sat on
display at the museum until 1989. In late 1989, the company wanted to restore
the steamer to its original glory and also have it once more, steam up and pump
water. The steamer was disassembled piece by piece. The steam and water pump
refurbished. The wheels, driver’s seat, suspension springs, and rear firebox
stand repainted and meticulously pinstriped using real gold leaf and mother of
pearl paint. The metal sent out for polishing and perfection. The boiler sent
for inspection and certification. Just before assembly was to start in late
1999, Ken’s restoration expert had an opportunity to start a new career and left
the project unassembled and unfinished. The company (Captain Ken’s Firehouse
Foods) was sold to the Traxler Brothers and Ken’s prized Amoskeag steamer laid
in hundreds or pieces in the back of the factory. The new owners of the company
reassembled the steamer for Ken. Unfortunately, Ken passed away in 2005 and was
not able to fulfill his dream of seeing the Amoskeag steam to life and pump
water. This Steam Fire Engine was then acquired by its current owner from the
estate of Ken Freiberg.
This unique steamer is for sale to the right home by private treaty. Ken wanted
this steamer to be pulled in parades and/or displayed for all to see. Amoskeag
Steam Fire Engine #78 has traveled from coast to coast looking for a permanent
home. If you would like more information do not hesitate to contact me by voice
or email. Jonathan Siseman, 612-743-4088 email:
