The engine worked by both gathering water from wells and propeling water onto fires. It was in use up until 1822, when the Fellowship Fire Company deemed it too antiquated for use. In 1871, it was sold to William H. Emhardt, the president of the Germantown Mutual Fire Insurance Company., Title supplied by cataloger., Manuscript note on original envelope: 10-6-1908.
