This is the most comprehensive guide to collecting fire-related antiques available, presenting a fascinating collection of functional items like helmets, parade trumpets, fire extinguishing grenades, alarm boxes, and lanterns. It also offers ranking and ceremonial effects such as badges, trophies, medals and awards, and ephemera that celebrate the culture and mystique of fire-fighting, including toys, artwork, movie posters, and much more. Forgotten relics, such as fire-fighting adventure novels, show the enormous amount of respect and admiration society has had for fire-fighters. Covering colonial times to the present, with a brief historical introduction, this authoritative reference serves hobbyists and the most serious collectors of "firematics". Nearly 700 colour photographs are inside with detailed descriptions and up-to-date pricing information.
