I've had way too much fun researching details for the Victorian Western Romance I write.<br />I've never paid much attention to fireman shields or logos...I imagine I'd learn a great deal if I did!

It sounds like you know history and are familiar with speaking trumpets. You're right that they're basically unheard of anymore.
