Soft brown sealskin cap with earflaps and visor. Has a generally elongated, rounded crown not flat topped. A round elastic cord, doubled, is attached to the front edge of each earflap, presently concealed within flap, going around back of crown (appears intended to go across the front). The small sections of hide apparently are hand stitched together. Heavy black sateen lining: a side strip circling the crown is machine top-stitched with a chain stitch to the edge of the crown; another top-stitched to that, its opposite edge pleated and hand stitched onto a center circle for the top of the crown. The gold hot-stamped shield logo on the center of the lining. Because the lettering is basic rather than ornate, I speculate the earlier date but it could be 1900 as well as not.
