Description: Beautiful Antique F A Fire Mark - Fire Association of Philadelphia This large oval fire mark measures over 10 inches in height (not to be confused with the much smaller miniature versions). The piece is curved, and is made from either cast iron or cast aluminum. It is very heavy and has 2 mounting holes. The paint on it is nice - possibly original (?) and shows the classic FA design with F A letters, hydrant, hose and leaf. See photos for accurate depiction. Happy to answer any more questions or take additional photos. About the Fire Association of Philadelphia: "The Trustees of the Fire Association of Philadelphia, currently known as the Fire Association of Philadelphia, was a separate insurance entity of an association of firemen formed to promote harmony and regulate the volunteer fire companies. It was the first insurance company in America to be organized and managed by the volunteer firemen. Formed without any capital, the Philadelphia volunteers pledged their firehouse and equipment to pay losses, while the Trustees were personally liable. The insurance company was so successful that the volunteers in other cities used the Fire Association’s charter and fire mark as a model."
