According to Mark Simiele's book "Walter 100% traction" Part 1, Walter probably made only one straight frame aerial ladder for Newburgh FD, a 1939 ,with a Pirsch Duralumin 65 foot ladder. Sold to a Diamond Reo dealer in the 60's and the rig was scrapped in the late 70's. Where and when is that picture from?

By looking at the photo-it appears to be a WWII German "S" mine, also know as a "Bouncin' Betty". A Claymore type mine, when tripped, jumps 2-3 feet up from the ground and blast a 12 foot radius with ball bearing shrapnel.
