Red Devil Posted April 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2021 Hi everyone, I saw a Confederate style cap currently on a popular auction site, and it got me thinking about one in my collection at present. Does anyone have a definite time frame for these? The construction looks closer to c.1900 than CW, but that's just my impression. Would be interested in learning more about these if anyone has insight. The example online is ink stamped inside "General Lee's Headquarters Museum Gettysburg" and I get the impression it's an old souvenir or promo piece.

Red Devil Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted April 30, 2021 Mine isn't exactly like it, but heavier cloth construction than CW-era pieces and has the same green painted brim as the other. Assuming this is also 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel griffin Posted June 13, 2021 Share #3 Posted June 13, 2021 Both appear to be 1890's-1900 period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came out of an old collection of mostly GAR and CW reunion pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
