Ancient Engine Of Uniteds Is Found In Baltimore Museum
The Old Lady, a hand operated pumper built by the United Steam Fire Engine Company of Frederick five years after its 1545 founding, has been located in Baltimore. Alton Y. Bennett, president, arranged display at the Equitable Fire Insurance Company museum at Fayette and Eutaw Streets. He seeks an agreement to exhibit more Frederick antique equipment and to repatriate the gear if the museum closes. The Lily of The Swamp, the second pumper and first steam pump cover, is now on permanent display at the Smithsonian in Washington.
