Frank@hoboken Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted June 15, 2017 Wow. How on earth did you get that lol. That dates this jacket to the 1850s I read that line wad defunct by then. Thanks. Just hand to see what it was. Not military. But would be cool for the age alone. Let someone else joy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram957 Posted June 15, 2017 Share #4 Posted June 15, 2017 I found it in "Letters Received by the Attorney General,1809-1870: Federal Government Correspondence....There was a letter noted about The New York & Liverpool United States Mail Steamship Company (Collins Line) getting a Postal Contract for Mail Steamers.....Now how I found that resource is another story...Actually just real heavy Googling !!!
