Original leather fireman's belt, 2.5" wide, fitting a 30-34" waist. The number "1" is in red, inset on the leather hasp. The Tough's Hose Company No. 1 was organized in 1884. According to the History of the Prescott Fire Department, the company was made up of 25 men, "mostly the saloon men, gamblers and businessmen of whiskey row." They had a two wheel cart with 600 feet of hose. Two other hose companies were also organized that year.

This original belt is a true rarity of western fire history, from a classic gold town in Central Arizona.
