JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, a photo courtesy of Kevin Boyle of Stoneham Auxiliary's former 1932 Buffalo.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.


Stoneham, MA ex Auxiliary Engine 6- 1932 Buffalo 750 GPM.
