Limited Edition Replica of Los Angeles Fireboat #2, Ralph J. Scott Now Available

Code 3 Collectibles today introduces a limited edition model of the Los Angeles Fire Department Fireboat # 2, the Ralph J. Scott. For almost 78 years, this recently retired fireboat played an important and heroic part in Los Angeles history. As the Ralph J. Scott was such an integral part of the Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Society plans to protect the iconic vessel and preserve its National Historic Landmark status. This coveted and exclusive addition to Code 3 Collectibles' already highly acclaimed line of Fire and Rescue apparatus will have only 3,000 limited edition models issued.

Code 3 Collectibles' exquisite replica of the LAFD Ralph J. Scott fireboat measures 9.25 inches from bow to stern and features impressive detail including open metalwork on the monitor tower. The boat can be showcased in its realistic wood-finished water base. Also included are two brass-toned stands allowing the collector to display a full view of the model's impressively detailed propellers, rudders, and hull.

We're very excited to develop a line focused on this unique genre of fire service apparatus, said Arnie Rubin, President of Code 3 Collectibles. "This model represents an iconic vessel and marks an important event in the history of Los Angeles while also helping preserve the boat with proceeds from sales.

Code 3 Collectibles' LAFD Ralph J. Scott fireboat #2 collectible features a full-color illustrated 12-page history of the boat, which details its construction and record of service to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The LAFD Fireboat # 2 is currently available for $132.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Ralph J. Scott collectible will help LAFDHS to preserve the actual fireboat #2 and educate the public about the history of the LAFD and the contributions it has made to the city of Los Angeles.

Code 3 Collectibles captures the tradition and spirit of today's heroes with limited edition, highly authentic replicas. The company's solid reputation has been built upon the outstanding quality and incredible detail of its product line, which includes an extensive line of Fire and Rescue collectibles and the new Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Collection.
