Antique Cast Iron Embosser Reads Exempt Fireman’s Association – April 2nd 1890 – Organized – Kingston NY.
Seal is 11″ tall to top of handle in upright position, bottom mounting plate is 2 1/4″ x 6 1/4″. Weight is heavy at hair over 5 pounds.
Looks good and in working condition. Last picture shows design. This ones unusually clean with its painted copper wash highlights still bold and reddish brown handle. Nice example of a 1890s letter seal and could of been made much earlier, with Exempt Fireman’s Association which is highly collectible in its own right, and last but not least a fine piece of Kingston NY history, the first capital of NY State. Has a lot going for it!
Made 1890 or earlier. Nice Antique Well Made Seal!!! Please check pictures for description and condition.
