“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
New York Fire Department journal dated 8 October 1887 to 14 February 1888. The vintage book, which runs over 200pp., is full of fascinating, hand-recorded information, including regulations sent out via telegraph and signed by the department chief. Also: records of fires, inspections, hose and hydrant use, building locations and protocol. Measures 8.5'' x 14''. Edges and corners of boards show wear, and backstrip is tattered and cracked in half, though binding is intact. Toning, dampstaining and foxing throughout. Good condition.
