    Description

    8” tall with hand painted floral accents around the orange photo printed on yellow fabric. Photo area is like an early daguerreotype in that image shows better in certain angles of light. He is in uniform, wearing his helmet and holds a fire trumpet in the crook of one arm.   One pinhole at top barely shows. Reads:  Ernest Hassinger President H.V.V.F.A. / Saugerties N.Y. June 21-22, 1904/ Mount Vernon, N.Y. June 20-21. 1904 (with error 4 inked out and a numeral 5 inked to correct the mistaken date for next year’s convention.) An early rarity with actual photo printed on fabric.   See second ribbon with actual paper photo of him also being offered with our 29 fire items closing simultaneously. Minor age traces. Very Fine.
