Was there any lettering on it that tells where it came from? Did you happen to record the Seagrave serial number so her ancestry could possibly be traced?

You should be able to find the data/nomeclature plate
on the rear door post/jamb on the driver's side down
by the pump/road shifter. It can also be on the seat
housing itself. Should give you all the info you need.
Also check around the pump panel.
From the looks of the fender and headlight arrangement
it appears to be a mid to late 1950s vintage Anniversary
Series pumper. Later models had squared off fenders
and dual headlights.
From what I can tell by looking at the pump panel and
number of discharges, this appears to be a 1000gpm
engine.
I wonder how it came to be there? (wherever exactly
"there" is)
It's a shame to see it rotting away. It
appears to fairly complete.
