Can anyone identify this flagpole?

Nice!

I'd buy several if I knew where to get them.

How many stars are on the flag? Sorry, did not read it well. 48

He said 48 stars.

Beats me, John...never seen one before.

Good find!

I like it so much, I just saluted my screen.

Looks good, I must follow this thread, I want several like it.

Yes, I got carried away. Its supposed to be a display of fire equipment. I have a lot of regard for "first reponders", and I like diecast vehicles, so that's the result. I also enjoy Plasticville, and have duplicates of several, but the Fire Department is the only one of which I have three.

Can't identify it? What's the problem? It's an American flag.
Geeze

agree with that!!!

Here is a very grainy picture of a Manoil flag pole, it appears to have similar qualities:

jay jay,
Sitting in front of your fire stations there is a 1950's ford fire chief car. I believe I had one of those when I was a boy. I believe it came with some firemen and a couple of helmets. I purchased it from a 5 and 10 store here in Homer City.

James,

I think you've found it! I looked at the E Bay listing, and the height is the same, and it has the same details. The only difference is the color of the base. Good find-thank you!

Jim,

That's a 1949 Ford Coupe, by Ertl. It is marked "Chief" and "Plasticville Fire Department". I bought it sometime in the past decade. I am a big fan of 1949 Fords.

You're welcome. That's a nice piece, they don't show up too often. Now all you need are a few manoil figures for a WWI memorial. I had to settle for the Lionel post war version (made by MPC of course!):



James

jay jay,
Thank you.
