Here is a wonderful collector?s item for either the eagle collector or the fire memorabilia collector ? it is a fire plaque of a casted eagle which I believe is zinc or white metal. I believe for the most part the eagle is in its original paint which is 99% intact. The eagle is casted with extremely fine detail all the feathers and talons are nicely defined and his stance is very bold. He is mounted on a piece of wood that may or may not be original as the back but never the less these two pieces have been together fro quite some time. The eagle its self is dated 1792. This was basically was a fire plaque that as you probably already know was mounted on the outside of a building or house in the 18th and 19th century and if you didn?t have this fire plaque I don?t think they would have put your fire out so it was a smart move to have one and pay your dues. This is an extremely nice plaque and one of the earliest ones I have ever come across- I like it a lot and it is a wonderful part of Americana. It measures 11 7/8?h x 8 ¼?w x 1 5/8? thick.
