The Vintage Cast Iron Eagle Plaque is a unique and historical collectible item that carries significance in the theme of firefighting and rescue. The writing on the back reads, " FACSIMILE OF INS. CO. OF N.A.FIRE MARK ISSUED 1830" Fire marks were originally placed on buildings in Philadelphia to identify insured properties for Fire Brigades. This cast iron fire mark was custom-produced by the Insurance Company of North America (INA). This piece is not a modern commercial reproduction. It was specifically commissioned by the Insurance Company of North America. The company produced these heavy cast iron plaques as exclusive promotional gifts. They were distributed directly to corporate insurance agents, long-time executives, and high value clients to display in offices or homes. This plaque would make a striking addition to any collection or display related to firefighting and rescue memorabilia.
