1930s Leonardo Luna Toy Fire Truck – Wood & Metal, 3-Man Crew
This rare antique fire truck toy, attributed to Leonardo Luna and dating to the 1930s, is a substantial and charming example of early handcrafted toy design. Constructed from painted wood and metal, the truck features rubber tires with spoked metal rims, removable ladders, and a rear handle. The model is accompanied by a three-man fire crew, with figures rendered in cast resin or composition material and hand-painted for expressive detail.
The truck reflects the craftsmanship of pre-war toy makers, with visible joinery, hammered metal hardware, and naturally aged patina to the iron elements. The removable ladders and integrated water tank add to its realism, while the overall build quality emphasizes durability and play value from a bygone era. Unmarked but consistent with known examples attributed to Luna, this piece is both decorative and historically significant—ideal for collectors of early American or European folk toys, firefighting memorabilia, or Americana.
Condition:
In good condition with age-appropriate wear. Surface scuffing and paint loss are visible throughout. The driver figure has an old repair to the left arm, and one fireman shows a head/neck repair. Patina to metal elements is consistent with age. Structurally stable and displays beautifully.
