As far as I can see , the hood mascot seems the bulldog of a Mack

:hello:

so what do the experts say, does the emblem look like Mack or Brockway ??

There's simply no Brockway that looks like this, is there?

If it's a Mack, would it be a 75?

The hood is rather unique. Find that hood and you can find the truck probably.

Mack 75 BX of early 1930s did have a hood divided on top something like this, but no later 1930s Macks did.

Could be Ahrens-Fox?

Mack had so many fire trucks it could be a Mack from the 1930s or 1940s.

Buffalo Fire Appliance Co. - 1920-1948 - Buffalo, New York
Beginning in 1920 this company built fire equipment on commercial chassis including Reo and Larrabee. From 1927 they used their own chassis but commercial chassis such as Ford Model A were also employed. Limousine pumpers were made from 1937, and in 1939 came a new streamlined series; this received a new grille in 1946, but otherwise there was little change until the end of production in 1948.

1947 Buffalo in Indianapolis. Note the fully framed windshield, hood ornament, V strips on top of the hood, top of the door, streamlined fenders front and rear, headlights on the side of the grille.

it's possible this Buffalo dates from the 30s by the lower placed door handle and wheel covers shape
