During the 19th century, these fire hats became more ornate, as portraits of historical figures, patriotic scenes, allegorical images, or company icons were painted alongside the company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s name, motto, or founding date. Made of pressed felt, these \u00e2\u0080\u009cstove-pipe\u00e2\u0080\u009d hats were primarily used in Philadelphia, but other nearby cities such as Baltimore and Washington adopted them as well. Fire hats were personal items with the owner\u00e2\u0080\u0099s initials often painted on the top of the hat. While these hats were worn at fires, they are more colloquially known as \u00e2\u0080\u009cparade hats.\u00e2\u0080\u009d Fire companies commonly marched in the many parades of the period and these ornate hats contributed to the visual culture of their day. These distinguishing features in a company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s regalia often proclaimed the members\u00e2\u0080\u0099 cultural and political identity as well as their position on contested topics such as work, religion and immigration."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This fire hat was used in the eastern United States during the first half of the 19th century.
