Newark Fire Insurance Company. Newark, New Jersey. 1877 - 1950. Reverse Glass. Wood Frame. 17 x 29 including Frame that is 1 3/4. Wonder if the Frame was replaced in past since it is in very good shape except for a few minor scratches on the wood and that would explain the difference in measurements from the Signs of Insurance book. Very nice Frame and matting. Black Background with Gold Lettering and Gold Emblem at bottom Left. On Left Side under Glass, there is a Faint Line that goes down from "N" to Company Emblem.
