Description

A single die-cast scale model of the 1954 American LaFrance Series 700 aerial ladder fire truck, produced by Franklin Mint Precision Models. The model is rendered primarily in bright red with extensive silver-toned metal and chrome detailing, including simulated diamond plating on the running boards and a detailed, extendable ladder assembly. The piece is securely mounted on a rectangular stained wooden display base. Visible markings include “AMERICAN LaFRANCE” in stylized text on the cab doors and “KEEP BACK 500 FEET” on the rear body panel. A gold-toned plaque affixed to the base identifies the piece as “1954 AMERICAN LaFRANCE.” An accompanying hang tag confirms the manufacturer as Franklin Mint Precision Models and notes the item was “CRAFTED IN CHINA.”
