1880s Horse Drawn FIRE PUMPER WAGON Truck Phoenix Hartford Insurance Victorian Trade Card
Fantastic 1870's - 1880's era 2.75" x 4.75" trade card showing a horse drawn water pumper wagon. It appears to have been shellacked or has a streaky gloss cover (see pics). I personally and carefully removed this piece from a Victorian trade card album where each piece dated to the 1870s or 1880s.
Steam pumper fire engines were used roughly from 1840 to 1920 to pump water on city fires.
The first steam pumper was built by Braithwaite and Ericcson in England in 1829. In the following decades, European cities invested in steam powered fire equipment.
The vertical fast firing boilers, while heavy, was an effective fire fighting equipment.
A few builders were American: Waterous, Amoskeag; Merryweather and Shand Mason were London-based fire engine manufacturers.
