patches Posted November 13, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznation Posted November 13, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2017 From the buttons on that website, you might be able to determine the age of the frock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznation Posted November 13, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 13, 2017 Good Eyes AZ I thought I was seeing like Anchors Thanks patches...in Google Chrome I zoomed the picture up to 500 percent in order to kind of make out those buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank@hoboken Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted November 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznation Posted November 13, 2017 Share #8 Posted November 13, 2017 The collar shows a date of 1790, so that gives the age of the frock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank@hoboken Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted November 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank@hoboken Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted November 13, 2017 There's even button snaps on the collar in one pic. Look a bit more modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 13, 2017 Share #11 Posted November 13, 2017 Perhaps you can contact these folks here Hoboken (Is that were your from Jersey? ) http://www.mdartillery.org/ 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.

aznation Posted November 13, 2017 Share #12 Posted November 13, 2017 Couldn't help but notice this looks like the same coat that ended bidding on Ebay tonight. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Rare-Indian-Wars-Baltimore-Artillery-Frock-Coat-with-Bullion-Patches/263301517903?hash=item3d4dfe524f:g:5vgAAOSwovNZ~4dJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 13, 2017 Share #13 Posted November 13, 2017 It is the same coat, perhaps member considered getting it, maybe he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QED4 Posted December 8, 2017 Share #14 Posted December 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dag Posted December 9, 2017 Share #15 Posted December 9, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
