    Offered here is an original front or rear Fireman Driver (the same figure was used for both drivers) from the 32”+ Ideal Fire Department Ladder Truck and the 20” and 24” Ideal Horse Drawn Fire Pumper. The Driver measures approx. 3” tall from the top of his head to his sear and has a square peg.

    Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
    The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
