I believe that the one Dr Steinbaugh posted from Kennett Square is now owned by a Lieutenant from WFD, though it is in pretty much the same shape sitting under a tarp on his farm in Glasgow, DE now. Unless there are two Macks from WFD in Kennett. The one he owned is the former Engine 3, though not sure which incarnation or model it was.
I guess, given the production numbers provided, Wilmington had the 1st and 2nd B-75s produced. Also, I confirmed with a retired chief of department, the last of the Mack B's were still in reserve status up through the mid-80's. He said he has a photo of one operating at a multi-alarm salvage yard fire in the early 80's, he is going to try to scan it and get it to me.
