The David Crockett Steam Fire Co. No. 1 was founded in 1841 and is the Oldest Continuously Active Volunteer Fire Company in the United States.  These Firemen occasionally rode in New Orleans Area Mardi Gras Parades, usually in the Gretna and West Bank Areas.  The Fire Company typically lead the Parade to insure proper clearance for the Parade Floats and again followed up at the end of the Parade.  Occasionally, these small Groups would have doubloons made and toss them every now and again to an eager parade spectator along the parade route.  These were issued in very limited number and are quite rare and hard to find these days.  The David Crockett Steam Fire Co. No. 1 issued their first doubloons in 1966 and continued
issuing
them every year through 1992.
The doubloon i
s much nicer than it appears in the photos and in Pristine Condition.
(Unless specifically described as 'toning' and Gold, Green, Purple or Blue Hues seen on any item are the reflection of a Mardi Gras Banner which hangs above my desk.)
