A scarce early WW2 era wooden Air Raid Precautions Gas Rattle, embossed stamped to the top section for ‘A.R.P’ and the makers mark of W.Clements & Sons, and a date of 1939. Together with a metal ARP whistle, marked ‘Noble Whistle’. Although the whistle is not marked ARP in the usual way, it exactly follows the patterns used by ARP personnel. Notes: the rattle is of usual form, with a turned wooden handle, and ratchet mechanism to create the distinctive sound. Information supplied by the vendor suggests that the items were used around the Chester Green area of Derby during WW2. Approximately 27cm across the top section, and a height of 22.5cm. Condition: generally good. The rattle has normal service wear, with a consistent colour and patina to the wood. We have not attempted to try the rattle in the manner originally intended, but it would seem to operate normally when slowly turned (and is still quite loud!). The whistle has some shallow dents to the body in a few places, but is complete and would no doubt work.

A large quantity of screws, nuts, bolts, brass blow lamp, ratchet straps and similar hardware. (1 pallet)

While the first steam-powered fire engine had been developed by John Braithwaite and John Ericsson in 1829, the first commercially successful fire-engine was a water-borne version developed by Shand Mason & Co, which went into service in 1855. From this point and particularly from the 1860s, the company worked with the chief of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, Eyre Massey Shaw and with competitor Merryweather & Sons, to perfect designs for land-based use by the London brigade and other municipalities. Its first land-based engine used by the brigade was produced in 1860. Its engines were initially horse-drawn, but later installed on fireboats (Europe's first, the Fire Queen was built by Shand Mason for service in Bristol's docks in the 1880s) and mounted on motor vehicles. The business was eventually taken over by Merryweather & Sons in 1928.Comments: surface dust, battery compartment wiring loose, NB. NOT tested for pressure, sold as a decorative model, not a working engine.
