Take the good with the bad

Stopped in a local shop after work today. Saw these setting on a shelf. I looked at one or two, and the guy said "why don't you take them all". Well the price was so cheap, I couldn't resist. He even gave me the little traffic light s a free bonus! Several are in really nice condition, and the rest are pretty rough shape. Didn't need any of them, but I guess I he caught me at a weak moment.

The Airport Crash Tender looks as though it may have a silver nozzle on top, and that 1930s style traffic light is way cool. Check the casting details on all of these carefully with Nick's listings, you may find a couple of needed codes that will surprise you Bob. There is usually one that I may not initially notice in each lot of commons I have ever bought. kwakers

Here is a pic of the better condition ones. The Fire truck doesn't have the ribs in the tow slot. The nozzle looks silver to me on the Crash tender. Need to do more investigating.
