A very appealing & totally amazing condition Hubley iron toy fire engine. This toy was produced by the Hubley Toy Company of Lancaster, Pa. circa 1920's-1930's. We believe it was made in the early 1930's. But, to be absolutely safe that we have covered the correct time span we will say 1920's-1930's. The length is 6 3/8 inches. The toy is 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall. The weight is 1 pound 1.1 ounces.
This toy was owned by a Hubley worker who obtained the toy when it w...as new while he was working at Hubley Company. He never played with the toy & retained it carefully sequestered & out of any direct light until he recently parted with it. The original white rubber tires have some age browning, cracking, & a small flat section on one tire. This is normal even for a Hubley toy that was not played with when it has the original white rubber tires.
The toy has 99.9% of the original fresh, blazingly bright, astonishing, unoxidized paint still present. You will notice that there is a flake of paint off of the left front fender & another off of the left back fender. Upon close examination there are a few other tiny specks of paint off of the paint here & there. But, we feel that our assessment of 99.9% original paint is fair & correct. A truly astonishing example paint-wise! You could look at a thousand Hubley iron toys & not find another Hubley iron toy in this condition. In over 50 years of looking for Hubley toys we have never seen another example of this model of fire engine in better condition than this. It is highly unlikely that you would ever locate a superior example condition-wise in a lifetime.
