There is a whole set of these models. I don't have a whole lot of info but, they were available during the '70's & '80's. As far as I know the set included:

WS

F

R

CF Aerialscope

CF Pumper

M-75

AC

Bulldog

CH

CM (Midliner conventional)

And a couple of earlier trucks that I am not sure of.

Manhattan(?)

Junior(?)

Senior(?)

They're made by Bristol Pewter. I'm missing the M-75SX, but do have the the others in the set including the 1910 5 ton, Mack Junior, DM 600 Mixer and the Cruiseliner. Very nice and tough to get. Rarely come up for sale.... ever!! Paul

Wasn't the DM mixer a Hardhat model, not a Mack release? I have one of the DM mixers as well, but never thought it was a part of the official Mack set.

I'm not sure, it's on the same type of base only thing different is it doesn't have the plaque. I'll look under it for the makers mark with a mirror. I got them all when Mineola Mack was bought by Gabrielle in the 80's and all their dead stock was sold off. Paul
