The first has a three horse hitch with an elaborate steam pumper rear end enameled in red with black pinstriping to wheels and a copper colored boiler. The second toy is a large 3-horse hook and ladder enameled in white with yellow wheels and black pinstriping. Toy originally had four axes as accessories, two of which are still present. Both toys feature ex-centric wheels under the horses, and by means of a wire connected to the wheel and the horse allow the horses to move in a galloping motion. A wonderful pair of matched toys coming directly from a Maine attic and donated to Goodwill Industries of Northern New England with all proceeds benefiting the organization. Both toys have a fair amount of attic dust/dirt and a good cleaning would bring out the hidden luster beneath.
