im a bit of a "fire buff" and i love collecting stuff....you know...old stuff. Brass nozzles, axes, pike heads...whatever. I know of e-bay of course, does anyone have any other sources besides swap meets and flea markets?
Hey Jake have you tried going around to different fire departments to see if by chance they may have some old stuff that they are willing to get rid of?
I scrounge mine from just about anywhere. I found a website for trading, buying, and selling old fire stuff, but damned if I can find it again. Theres a few used fire engine dealers that sell or give away old equipment, and I've seen an ad or two in the fire magazines for a few places that do stuff like that.
Don't post too many. Bad enough I drool all over my keyboard when I stare at the rig pictures. Cool old tools and nozzles might totally kill my computer!
LOL Ill try to control myself...lol...so my 14' pike ploe with a head that is 22" long and weighs about 8 pounds might really do ya in? Wait that didnt sound right! lol
