About the Item
Mutual Insurance Co. fire marker without the 1784. Used primarily for advertising purposes, fire marks were used from 1752 to circa 1900. Going back to their early practices, the Philadelphia Contributionship and The Baltimore Equitable Society still issue fire marks. This particular mark was issued from 1808 to 1829. Commonly known as the “Green Tree Insurance Company,” this is the third variant of four different cast iron fire marks issued by the Mutual Assurance Company, The raised tree branches and trunk on the front are hollow on the mark’s reverse. The hollow back reduced the amount of iron need to make the mark, thereby reducing its cost, and enabled the molten iron to cool more evenly.

The company's greatest success occurred in 1963 when Wilton, Jr. developed the formula for a unique aluminum-based alloy called Armetale, which led to a new line of Wilton products. In 1969, the Wilton Brass Company relocated to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania and changed its name to reflect its new direction. Today, Wilton Armetale...
