Frank@hoboken Posted June 21, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2017 Saw a listing. Looked very suspect but as I'm not the expert I brought it to you guys. This was labeled a militia coat from he 1870s. Just curious if anyone recognizes anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance Posted June 22, 2017 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2017 I'm guessing you don't have a closer shot of that label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank@hoboken Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks a bunch. I don't really doubt the age of the jacket more the nature of it. Doesn't look like any militia jacket I've seen. The lining or the cuffs or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted June 23, 2017 Share #8 Posted June 23, 2017 There is an endless variety of such military style uniforms from late 1800's. More often than not, it's impossible to ID them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted June 23, 2017 Share #9 Posted June 23, 2017 I have to agree with Kurt, lots of factories/clubs/other organizations had bands and other groups that used these style jackets in this time period. Will be very hard to nail down the specifics on this jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
