Description
Fire insurance plaques are embossed metal signs, which were placed on the front of houses indicating they were insured against fire. This plaque was possibly issued by the Phoenix Fire Office, which was founded in 1680. The Association was a fire insurance company and joined Sun Alliance in 1984. This plaque, in black, shows a phoenix head and tail rising from flames surrounded by raised dots, with a wreath above and policy number 195 impressed on the panel below.
