For your consideration is this original photo of a Tombstone firefighter from C.S. Fly and Tombstone Fire Department button dug up in Tombstone from the 1880s. The photo shows a man, Edward Stump, in his fire fighting uniform showing two crossed ladders behind a helmet on his shirt and his helmet reading, "Rescue 1". From his helmet and his markings on his shirt, he was apart of the Rescue Hose Company #1. He is holding an axe in his lap as he poses for the photo. It is set behind a glass frame and sits on a small metal stand. The back of the photo is written on in pencil reading, "Edward Stump". The small pin was dug up in Tombstone by a local citizen and was put on display in the Tombstone Heritage Museum since the start in 2001. It reads, "F.D." on the front and is adorned with floral designs on the outside of the lettering. The back is marked reading, "Geo. Evans & Co. / Philadelphia". This was worn by Tombstone firemen. The pieces show good condition overall with slight wear present to both, but no major signs of damage noted. The photo and frame measure 7 1/8" L x 4 3/8" W x 1/2" D, while the button measures 3/4" L x 3/4" W x 3/8" D. They have a collective weight of 12 ounces.
