    Description

    PENNSYLVANIA INSURANCE
    The Pennsylvania Mutual Live Stock Company was chartered April 6, 1852. On February 17, 1854, a special act of the state legistature changed the name to the Pennsylvania Insurance Company of Pittsburg.
    In 1891 the company retired from business, though its corporate powers were not disolved by the courts.
    The original Pennsylvania Insurance mark was made of tin. This mark is of cast metal (non-ferrous) construction measuring approximately 7.625" X 4.75" and was cast by John Wright. The mark says Pennsylvania Ins. Co. in gold lettering on a red background with silver trim.
    This would make an excellent addition for any collector of firefighting or insurance memorabilia.
    American insurance company's fire marks were placed on the exterior of a house and were intended to discourage malicious arson by showing that the owner would not greatly suffer if the building were destroyed. Additionally, the mark stood as a guarantee to fire brigades that the insurance company which insured the house in question would reward handsomely the brigade extinguishing a blaze on the premises.
