Got out to a few foundation sites yesterday. Nothing notable, but I found this sign right behind one of them, in an area that was likely a bottle dump/trash pit (lots of broken glass and bottles). I thought it was just junk at first until I pulled out a piece with lettering. I decided to be a bit more gentle excavating the rest but it came out pretty mangled.
Seems to read : Mutual Fire (A Stock Corporation)..Chartered 1869... New York (you can see ".EW YO.." on the bottom). I'm missing a few pieces and I hope to get back and find them sometime soon. I have no hope of putting it back together but I think it's pretty neat!
Can't find any info online about the sign itself online, making me think it might be valuable if it were in decent condition. All I came up with were some google books results about the company itself.
