ok, ready....
its either a 1937 or 1938. As a Fire Apparatus, the E Model was built between 1937 and 1950. there were 45 type 50's built. Serial number 50S-1030 is a 1939, listed in the SPAAMFAA listing as being owned by the Fire Museum of Maryland, and I believe was Ex-Bel Air, MD.
based on that, the one in Tryon is a year or 2 older than the one in Maryland.
