Abstract
The conservation treatment of an 18th century fire appliance is described after a brief history of its origin. The treatments of the corroded iron, bronze and copper parts, and various accessories are discussed. The reproduction of the missing upper works with reference to early descriptions and extant examples is also described. A simple documentation technique for indicating missing and reproduced parts by line drawings is presented. See also AATA 19-338.
