Small Circa 1900 Amherst, New Hampshire Fire Badge for the Hand-Tub "Lawrence"

This is a great circa 1900 Amherst, New Hampshire fire badge for the hand-tub "Lawrence", and early 19th century hand-pumper, or a water trough on wheels. The Lawrence (pictured above) started out life as the Torrent #4 of Worcester, Massachusetts, and was renamed upon its sale to the New Hampshire town. The badge is numbered 2.

Circa 1900.

Approximately 1-1/2" in height and 1-1/2" in width.

Nickel-plated brass, painted lettering.

Vertical pin with forked locking catch.

None.

This is from a fire badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VCEX12 LABEX3/12 SABEX11/13

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge shows some light wear only.

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