This is a super and rare to find Antique Kingsbury Toys Fire Chief Siren push toy. It is in good condition but does exhibit some age-related wear and although it makes a noise when pushed, it’s not very siren like, so likely requires a good clean inside. It is also noted that one wheel can be pulled off. It measures approximately 70cm in length but the arm does fold in half for easier storage.
The Wilkins Toy Company was founded by James Wilkins in 1890 and was purchased by Harry T. Kingsbury in 1894 who continued to produce toys under the KINGSBURY name until WWII. Kingsbury was a world leader of cast iron and sheet metal toys of which are now sought after by avid collectors.
