Orchard Beach VFD AACO Eng 11-1



1946 International K 500GPM



For many years I thought this was built by F.L. Anderson in Baltimore. I now am leaning towards Southern Fire Apparatus of Roanoke, VA. It lacks the features of the F. L. Anderson rigs that I have seen. It has many of the features of Post #109 the 1945 Ford from Smithsburg VFD posted by Dr. Stinebaugh.



Southern Fire Appartus features that I see:



Pump gauges mounted on top of the grill

Large equipment compartment at the front of the body

Shape of the rear fenders behind the wheels

Light or reflector mounted at bottom of rear fender

Angled mounting of the hard sleeves

Under the right door, there appears to be a builder's plate. Its too small to read but it has the size and shape of other Southern Fire Appartus builder plates I have seen



Any opinions or comments are welcomed.
