February 1860: This silver plated speaking trumpet was presented to the Washington Fire Engine Company by the Jovial Club of Paterson, New Jersey in 1860. The trumpet is engraved with ivy and flowers around the entire trumpet and has an inscription inside an oval cartouche framed by tree branches. This inscription reads, "Presented by the Jovial Club of Paterson, N.J. to Washington Fire Engine Company No. 3, February 22, 1860." The braided orange cord with tassels is attached to the trumpet by rings in the shape of fire hats. In September of 1862 many members of the Washington Fire Engine Company formed Company A in the 25th Regiment of the New Jersey Volunteers.

Below is a an additional closeup of the Engine Lamp and play pipe. The engine lamp raises several questions. The photos shows an Engine Lamp sitting on top of the steamer on display at Paterson Museum. However the original lamp would have screwed (fit very tightly) into the top of the chamber. There would not have been a swing holding the lamp on the original. Sometimes hose wagons had lamps which would use this type of swing hanger. The lamp belongs on the front brass chamber (note the unused knob on its top)
