The metal body is solid with no major structural breaks, but there is visible surface rust and paint loss consistent with age; the original red paint remains. The ladder is present but shows oxidation, and the mechanical turning wheels for the ladder are intact, though they may need cleaning and lubrication. The cabin has no glass and interior details are minimal. The tires are original but show wear. Please check all photos carefully to judge completeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Serp i Molot (Hammer and Sickle) plant in Moscow was a major Soviet metalworking factory, and its SIM-branded steel toys were known for being tough and generously sized. The fixed state retail price stamped into the body is a typical feature of Soviet-made toys. A large vintage Soviet toy fire truck like this one makes a striking display piece once restored, or a source of original parts for other SIM vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
