ARTIFACT:
This is a beautiful old circa 1900 lapel badge for the Yonkers Volunteer Fire Department, Harry Howard Hose Co. No. 12. A populous and old New York city situated on the Hudson River, Yonkers had organized firefighting as early as 1852. The H.H. Hose Company was formed in the summer heat of 1900. Seven years later, all but six of Yonkers' volunteer hose companies were forced to disband, H.H. Hose Co. No. 12 being one of the lucky ones. The badge is in 10 karat gold was made by C.G. Braxmar Company of New York. It has a great hose cart at center and enameled lettering. The original owner's name was engraved upon the reverse: it has been mostly eradicated, but could be deciphered with a Fire Department member list. This came to us along with a circa 1910s Yonkers Exempt Firemen's Association badge (please see link at bottom of page for information).
