NATIONWIDE MUTUAL: Anniversary Fire Insurance Co Agency Plaque/Mark SIGN/MARKER

Description

NATIONWIDE
MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE
Nationwide Insurance began as a small mutual auto insurance company under the leadership of Murray T. Lincoln. In 1925, the company then known as the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation incorporated as the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, with the focus of providing affordable auto insurance to Ohio farmers. In 1926, the company sold its first policy, and in 1928, the company began spreading into other states.
In 1934, Farm Bureau Mutual began providing insurance to drivers in urban areas and purchased a fire insurance company. This purchase allowed the company to offer property insurance policies. In 1955, Farm Bureau Mutual continued to expand, moving into 20 additional states. With this expansion, the company changed its name to Nationwide Insurance.
This is a Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company mark which would have been issued in the later part of the 1900's for the 40th Anniversary of their fire insurance operation. This Fire Plaque/Mark is of Cast Metal (non ferrous) construction which measures approximately 11.375” X 8.875”.  It was designed and cast
by Harold
F Hayden for the Company's Anniversary.  The plaque is in good condition with some paint loss and chipping reflective of age and usage, which adds to the vintage look and feel of the mark.
This is a nice hard to find piece and would make a great addition to any fire mark, firefighting or insurance memorabilia collection. This is a must for a Nationwide employee, retiree, agent-broker, or insurance memorabilia collector
