"Fire Alarm Codes" Measures 2-1/2" wide by 3-7/8" high, circa 1895. Wonderful condition. There are no tears or creases, no fading except for minor area on back. Portrait colors are well preserved. The card was at one time trimmed at the top and right side, but otherwise there is no damage. Issued by the Utica branch of the Y.M.C.A at the turn of the century, the back contains a "List of Fire Alarm Codes for Utica, NY." which identifies the various fire boxes and the wards to which they correspond, listing many of the establishments in the area at the time. An unusual card to say the least -- we doubt there are many of these left in the world.
