What is the value of a baseball signed by the entire 1939 Brooklyn Dodgers team including Ford C. Frick?

A 1939 Brooklyn Dodgers team signed baseball with the key signatures; Durocher, and Lazzeri is worth about $300. -$450. The Ford C. Frick Signature is probably a facsimile signature that was printed on the Official National League baseball 1934 - 1951. If it is an actual Ford C. Frick signature you might add about $100.+ to the baseball. The Brooklyn Dodger collector that purchases the baseball most likely will not pay extra for the Fick signature. There are many factors in putting a value on a team signed baseball. Including condition of the baseball, and signatures, having the baseball authenticated will get you a higher price. Signatures that have been properly authenticated will sell at a higher price than not. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one.

What is the history of FDNY Engine 79 in the Bronx?

I can't help you with E. 79, but I can help you with E.48, on Webster and 187. Their original quarters were on Webster Av, S/W of Fordham Rd. in 1897, the single bay, three story, wood frame firehouse was, "rebuilt", because the street level of Webster Av was raised. The old firehouse housed E.48, and the Deputy Chief, 7th Division. As a kid in the early 60's, I remember playing in the basement of 48. You could clearly see the outline of the apparatus door from pre 1897, and the stalls for the horses. E.48 had its share of tradgedy. Members of the company were lost when a theatre marquis collapsed on them, and when they collided with Rescue 3 en-route to a alarm. In 1965 they lost Fr. 1st.Grade, Edward F. Snediker, while operating at a gas explosion at Fordham Fd. and Valentine Av. During the 60's and 70's E.48 proved to be one of the most capable Engine Companies in the Bronx. In the 70's E.48 moved 2 blo0cks South to its new quarters with Ladder 56. The old house was used by the model cities youth program program, as a Fire Salvage Company. When the funding dried up, the old firehouse stood vacant for many years. A few years ago, it collapsed. The corner stone was removed my members of 48 & 56 and rests at their present firehouse. The loss of that old firehouse will never erase the many fond memories I have of the bldg, and the heroes that worked there.

If Queens County is the borough of Queens why is Kings County called Brooklyn?

The difference in name is due to the history of the counties before they both became part of New York City in 1898. Brooklyn has two names, because Brooklyn and Kings County were not always the same thing. Brooklyn used to be a small part of Kings County and it gradually grew to swallow up the whole county.

The Dutch settlement of Breuckelen was established on the western shore of Long Island (area of present-day Brooklyn Heights) in the 17th century. The county of Kings was so designated by the English after they took over the colony, and it encompassed roughly the same area as it does now. The name Breuckelen then was anglicized as Brooklyn, and the town was incorporated in the 19th century. By the 1890s, the City of Brooklyn was annexing all surrounding towns, including Williamsburgh, Flatlands, Flatbush, Gravesend, New Utrecht and others, until it took over the entire Kings County. And within a few short years, the City of Brooklyn, which was now synonymous with Kings County, joined with New York City, part of Queens County, part of the present-day Bronx, and Richmond County to form the City of Greater New York. So, in 1898 the City of Brooklyn properly became the Borough of Brooklyn, but the name of the county remained as Kings.

Queens County, on the other hand, consisted of several smaller towns, and did not have one giant that would annex the rest. A number of these smaller towns (Flushing, Jamaica, etc.) also joined the City of Greater New York in 1898 forming the Borough of Queens. The rest of the towns in Queens County (Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay) decided to separate and form their own Nassau County within about a year. Thus, the borders of Queens County shrank to encompass only the Borough of Queens and nothing else.
