Ashton Models AH38 1952 Mack 750 GPM Pumper Hanover Diecast Model Scale 1:43 / Mint Condition
This model was part of my late father's much-loved fire models collection. It has been carefully stored for many years, and is in mint condition.
The inner box is in excellent condition with minimal wear, and the outer box sleeve just has some light scuffs. Please see all my photo's, as they clearly show the model detail and box condition.

Ashton Models were a specialist American manufacturer of highly detailed, handcrafted miniature fire engines and other emergency vehicles. The company was founded in 1983 by German-born Gerhard Klarwasser, who operated from his workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island, USA, selling models through his Toys for Collectors business. The models, generally around 1:43 scale, were made in limited production runs, using cast white metal, with individual assembly, detailing and hand-painting. They recreate historic American fire appliances, particularly those manufactured by Mack, Ahrens-Fox and American LaFrance, often decorated with the markings of actual American fire departments. They became sought-after collectors' items because of their quality, authenticity and relatively small production numbers.
