<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 190749, member: 59&quot;]It&#039;s supposed to be for a &quot;Fire Insurance company&quot; - called a &quot;fire mark&quot; I think and back a long time ago, every house or other building that had insurance against fire loss had one of these attached on the outside. I think the deal was that the householder arranged this fire coverage with a specific &quot;fire brigade.&quot; If a covered property caught fire, the brigade would know they were responsible for putting the fire out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In mid-20th century fantasy fire marks were used as decoration - often around the fireplace. My parents had a bunch hanging there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
