Are there any indications of this being of a Baltimore Militia unit, IE some sort of stamping and or a Baltimore tailor label? Plus I think the boys might want a close up of the buttons.

These are the best pics. Nothing written underneath. There not as old as the website suggests but def similar. Maybe ceremonial. The write up Imsaw with this coat suggests this was used upcunt L the span am war.

I think that was the founding of the company. The

Inning is definitely not a 1790 quality lining. It's a look of mid to late 1800s. I'd ascertain.

Perhaps you can contact these folks here Hoboken (Is that were your from Jersey? :D)

Seems to be of interest, and perhaps it's a vintage NG ceremonial uniform of the type many NG units had or have, in example the NYC NG unit here at the 7th New York Park Avenue Armory for one.

I don't mean to be picky but it is not a frock coat, a frock coat is long, going to the knees all the way around, like an over coat but lighter weight and not worn over another coat. This is a cutaway or tail coat.

The buttons appear to be from New York, per Record Of American Uniform And Historical Buttons, by Alphaeus H. Albert. It is listed as NY91, the New York Veteran Corps of Artillery.
