Back in 1984, the first time I attended the Hershey Chocolatetown Firemen's Parade, there was an antique from New Wilmington PA. A member by the name of Larry thought he at least had farthest distance travelled but was beat out by my friend of Tunxis Hose, Unionville CT who had made a journey of almost 300 miles.

confirmed today by Rick he has 75S(EH)-1023. Rig was new at Carnegie-Illinois Steel Irvin Works, then sent to National Tube, then privately owned by the 3 gentlemen below.
Mike, the truck that Rick James owns was at National Tube in McKeesport. John Racke bought that truck and had it until ne died in 1997. His wife sold it to Rich Fowler from Shaler Twp. Rich sold it to Rick James. Did it start it's career at Irvin, then transfer to National Tube? It very well could have. But John told me that it was at National Tube.

I probably might have what you are looking for - but I am not sure if they will be in 4x6 but maybe the smaller. I am almost finished scanning my entire collection of apparatus photos from PA into the computer and will have them for sale then, over 25,000. Let me know what you are looking for -
