$28.00

Vintage real train conductor/engineer\'s cap, size 7 1/4. \'Union Made\' logo and \'United Hatters Cap & Millinery Workers Union\' circling it. Numbered #877396. I believe that Hatters Union was formed in 1938, not certain how long it remained before joining another. Side of brown band has a manufacturer name, I can\'t read it..looks like Poshiponer? Cap has brass front buttons with braided yellow rope trim, black vent holes, stiff ring around inside top to keep hat uniform & also has a hard sun visor. Top of the hat measures 10.5\" long x 11\" front to back. Stands 5\" tall in front & tapers down to 2\" in the rear. Previous owner worked as Conductor, Yardmaster and other railroad jobs for New York Central, Penn Line, Amtrak and possibly others around Toledo, Ohio & Northern Territory. The man\'s father also worked for the railroad from around 1918 on, not sure who\'s cap this was.
