This marker was used by the Franklin Fire Company of Chester, Pennsylvania. The company was founded on November 20, 1867 and incorporated February 22, 1869. Franklin was Chester's first fire company, located on Mary St. and Concord Ave. The marker consists of a round central portion whose rim is made of a hose, a crossed hook and ladder in the middle and a fire helmet flanked by a firefighter’s speaking trumpet and axe. A banner in the center bears the text “F CO 1.” The top arc reads “FRANKLIN” and the bottom arc “CHESTER PA.” The lack of holes for attachment to an engine points to this marker not being an engine plate, but rather a grave marker or flag holder.
