Art Work or Historic Relic ?

In my last post, I wrote about the railroad engine wheel that was used by the Greenville Fire Department to signal volunteers to come to the fire house.

Last week I went with my parents when they went to vote. Their polling place is at the Greenville Fire Department. The entrance to the polling place is behind the fire house. Directly in front of the entrance is the engine wheel which I wrote about. The brass plaque is all worn away. Not many people would know what it is or why it is there. My parents always thought it was a piece of art. Now, like you, they know the history behind this piece of art work hanging behind the Greenville Fire Department.
