Fireman's Fund Insurance Company of San Francisco Fireman's Fund was originally founded in 1863 and was named for an arrangement in which they paid 10 percent of their profits to widows and orphans of firefighters. Their origins trace back to the numerous expensive and disastrous city fires in 1849 and the 1850’s. Their history is much tied-into the history of San Francisco from the early pioneer Gold Rush days to now being one of the largest insurance carriers in the world. Their fire mark depicted an old time Fire Plug/Hydrant and Hose along with the Company's Name. This is an authentic Fireman's Fund issued fire mark paperweight from the second half of the 1900's. It is of cast metal construction measuring approximately 3.25"x 2.50" with an unpainted brushed metal surface. The front side has the Fund fire mark and the other side has the wording "A Leader in Dwelling Fire Since 1863." This is a nice hard to find piece and would make a great addition to any fire mark firefighting or insurance memorabilia collection. This is a must for a Fireman's Fund employee, retiree, agent-broker, or insurance memorabilia collector. American insurance company’s fire marks were placed on the exterior of a house and were intended to discourage malicious arson by showing that the owner would not suffer greatly if the building was destroyed. Additionally, the mark stood as a guarantee to fire brigades that the insurance company which insured the house in question would reward handsomely the brigade extinguishing a blaze on the premises.
