mars&thunder Posted February 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2013 I have a cabinet card that is probably from the 1890 timeframe. The captain is wearing a shoulder knot but I can't figure out what branch he belongs to. He may be a NYNG Officer, since the image was taken in Brooklyn. Can anyone identify this? I have spent way too much time cruising the internet with no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted February 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2013 Not military. He's a member of the fraternal organization, Knight of Pythias. All of their insignia was designed based on current US Army rank of the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
