Ferno Scoop Stretcher in WI

now me I have never figures out what makes this old medical equipment worth so much. you'll find guys with stacks of it horde it like gold.
 
true but once it's used and now no longer valued as anything but yesterdays stuff it's junk. me I found the scoop to handy a pt mover to not have one on the rig. it was the vary best for picking up the broken hips, shuffling someone over rough ground that kind of thing. with a folding one it took up less room and was easer to carry then a board. the shape made it much more comfortable for the pt also.
 
Old medical equipment has value for the same reason why anything old has value. Supply and demand, nostalgia, etc. A lot of these probably where tossed in the trash or scrapped for their aluminum value as most ambulance dealers, ambulance service owners, and fire departments just assumed that no one would want them.

I bought a nice F-W Model 30 from a retiring ambulance dealer within the past year. He had a pile of stretchers that he had already cut up. The one that I bought was next in line to be scrapped. He also had a pile of '80s and '90s van ambulance lights that were destined for the land fill. I didn't want them at any price because you can't even give those away.
 
They are extremely useful on home calls. Its s.o.p. here that it goes on all home calls, its still a valuable tool. It is easily used in many difficult removal circumstances. It may be old but it still gets the job done.
