An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Poster (measures 18" x 33") (Learn More)

The Measure of Excellence, the circa 1980s printing company poster ("In thousands of hours over nearly twenty years, he machined perfect miniature parts of brass, copper, bronze and blue tempered steel. He joined them with handcrafted nuts and bolts so small they're barely visible. He carved authentic elliptical spokes for the wooden wheels. He sanded, painted and polished. He added deatails like the matching stainless steel lanters with real wicks. His work was done only when he was satisfied that it was perfect in every detail, a fully functional scale model of an American LaFarance horse-drawn fire engine. The result is proof that pride in craftsmanship is not lost. It lives in those whose work reveals a deep commitment to quality. The people of H.T. Woods keep that spirit alive. It's second nature to Bob Rossi, the press foreman who printed this poster. He wasn't satisfied until it met his personal standard of excellence. That level of commitment comes naturally to Bob, because the man in the picture is his Dad."; "H.T. Woods") featuring a photograph of a replica fire engine taken by Warren Jagger. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
