The Signevirist - Q2 2026

The Signevirist Newsletter

The Official Newsletter of the Fire Mark Circle of the Americas

The newsletter discusses a potential Fireman’s Fund fire mark from Facebook Marketplace, deemed likely a post-1900s sign by the verification committee due to its material and missing historical ties. It also reviews a possible silver variant of the scarce B.329 Reliance Insurance mark versus the standard black-on-green-gold, questioning discoloration. Historical notes cover an 1885 clipping on an insurance policy and a postcard of porcelain company signs.
