Ca. 1900 Fulton, New York Fireman Badge Likely From Steamer Co. No. 2

This is a great circa 1900 Fulton, New York Fireman badge, most likely from Steamer Company No. The Fulton Fire Department was organized April 16, 1857, with Dixon Van Valkenburgh, Abial T.

It still operates on a volunteer basis and now consists of Steamer Company No. 1 and 2, Johnson Hose Company No. 2, Protection Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, Sharp Hose Company No. 3 and Hose Company No. There is also a fire board which consists of four members. The badge is by Cairns & Brothers of New York City.
