City of Syracuse Fire Department uniform button, 25mm size, associated with the municipal fire service of Syracuse. This button features the department’s recognised device in clear relief, incorporating the central initials “FD”, with surrounding legend “City of Syracuse”, all executed in nickel consistent style with traditional American fire service uniform fittings.
The City of Syracuse Fire Department forms part of the long-established municipal emergency services in New York State, with origins in the nineteenth century. Buttons of this type were worn on tunics and dress uniforms by firefighters, reflecting departmental identity, civic pride, and rank within the service. The robust design and quality manufacturing ensured durability for both ceremonial and everyday wear.
Manufactured in nickel metal with a loop shank fitting to the reverse, this example provides a well-defined representation of American fire service insignia. Syracuse Fire Department buttons are collected as examples of firefighting memorabilia, municipal uniform components, and U.S. civic service history.
