First SPAAMFA (Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America) convention or muster I ever attended. It was held at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, NJ last Saturday and despite a few showers and no sun, I managed to get a few pics (about 88 of them!). I will post a few of them here; the rest are on my Smugmug site.
First up is West Side HC of Steelton, PA X-Eng 3 - 1925 Mack Bulldog.

This next one was special for me. I attended a high school in Highland FC's first due area when this was new and really haven't seen it since!

Quote: Richmond, VA X-Eng 16 - 1952 Mack (no other info).
This is a 1952 Mack Serial 75A-1029, 750/200 pumper which did serve Richmond, VA as Engine 16 and also as a reserve and later Hardy Fire Company in Bedford County, VA before being bought by a private citizen and returned to it's appearance of yesteryear.
