This is a nice 1890s Alert Hook & Ladder Company fire badge from Westerly, Rhode Island. The badge is delicately bordered and shows firefighting equipment engraved at its center.

Circa 1890s.

Nickel-plated brass with painted lettering, brass pin.

This is from a firefighting collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VACGX11 LBGEX1/11 SAEJX2/15

7 (Very Fine): The badge shows some small areas of light to medium wear.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
