The Signevirist - Winter 2025

January 2025 Volume 54 Issue 1

The Fire Mark Circle of the Americas newsletter explores the mystery of fire mark B.240, attributed to the Eagle Fire Insurance Company in Boston, Massachusetts, but found in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with symbols suggesting a possible British origin. Research reveals connections to a British mark, B.998, and raises questions about the marks true identity and purpose. The investigation highlights the complexities of fire mark collecting and the need for further research to uncover the marks history and significance.
