My Background

I've been collecting firefighting antiques and memorabilia since childhood. I began attending auctions and yard sales with my grandmother who had an interest in early glass. The hunt for firefighting items was fueled from growing up a few doors from my local fire station. Over the years my collection has grown from mugs and collectibles to specializing in firefighting memorabilia dating to pre-1930. Items of special interest include helmets, trumpets, lanterns, badges, presentation items, and one-of-a-kind pieces.

Firefighting Antiques......an investment that is aesthetically pleasing

Firefighting items have always been a HOT commodity in the collecting world. Investing in quality firefighting antiques is both rewarding and builds artistic flavor. Many items continue to appreciate in value and can round out a solid investment strategy. While I believe you should only buy what you can afford, each artifact can be looked upon as an investment both financially and for their aesthetic beauty.
