This lot features a collection of solid cast pewter sculptures by Michael Ricker, centered on the theme of historical steam-powered transportation. The primary piece is a multi-figure scene depicting a late 19th-century horse-drawn steam fire pumper. The sculpture includes a central boiler finished in a contrasting brass or bronze tone and is populated by three firemen in period attire and two children. The pewter base is incised with the edition number 138/500 and the signature M.A. Ricker. This set includes a separate pewter horse figure in full harness, posed in motion. The group further includes an assortment of miniature steam locomotive models, each mounted on a rectangular finished wooden plinth. One specific model features a brass-toned plaque on the base labeled B&O 0-4-0 TEAKETTLE. Another locomotive model is incised on its track base with ? 1990 RICKER and the edition number 845/1500. Three additional steam locomotives of varying wheel arrangements are also present. The items are static decorative models with no moving parts. Included with the sculptures is a circular framed black-and-white print titled UNION DEPOT Orrville, Ohio, depicting a historical railway station and tracks.
