JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

For my photos this week, a few vintage Stoneham Mass photos.

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 1886 T.T. Marston - hose wagon.


Stoneham, MA 1941 Seagrave 65' MMA.
