About the Item
Rare Turn of the century Edwardian era Poughkeepsie, NY Fire Department Badge in Dutchess County. This shield-shaped white metal badge belonged to a firefighter from Poughkeepsie, New York, and features the raised number “257” beneath a fire helmet, trumpet, and hose. “POUGHKEEPSIE” and “FIRE DEPARTMENT” appear in raised banners. Likely dating to the early 20th century, it reflects the standardized badges adopted after Poughkeepsie’s Fire Department was founded in 1855.
Firefighter badges became common in the early 19th century, evolving from volunteer companies to official municipal use. They served as identification at fire scenes and were designed to deter looting by restricting unauthorized access. Badge styles varied—shield, circular, or Maltese cross—and often featured department names, numbers, and firefighting imagery like helmets, hoses, and ladders.
Measurements: 2.25 inches tall × 2 inches wide.

Cast Iron Fireman Fire Marker
Located in Coeur d'Alene, ID
Unique cast iron fire marker with painted fireman in red coat, horn blowing "FIRE", and hose. Used primarily for advertising purposes, fire marks were used from 1752 to circa 1900. Going back to their early practices, the Philadelphia Contributionship and The Baltimore Equitable Society still issue fire marks. Back stamped "Wilton". The Wilton family has been involved in the metal casting industry since 1892 when Ralph P. Wilton, Sr. began working for his uncle at the Susquehanna Casting Company near Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. At that time, the foundry produced industrial iron castings for other manufacturers. Half a century later, Ralph P. Wilton, Jr. expanded the family business through other ventures, such as Wilton Products (1940) which made cast iron gifts and the Wilton Brass Company (1955) which initially produced industrial brass, aluminum, and iron castings. The company's greatest success occurred in 1963 when Wilton, Jr. developed the formula for a unique aluminum-based alloy called Armetale, which led to a new line of Wilton products. In 1969, the Wilton Brass Company relocated to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania and changed its name to reflect its new direction. Today, Wilton Armetale...
