U.S. ARMY HEADGEAR 1854 TO 1902, TWO VOLUME SET
PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION by Howell &
Kloster:
Issued in 1969, this two
volume set was published by the Smithsonian Institution
as part of the SI’s efforts to showcase their
collections.
Volume One in 75 pages covers the
US Army headwear from the tricorne hats of the American
Revolution through the Pattern 1851 Cap. Volume Two in
109 pages begins with the Pattern 1855 Cavalry Hat and
covers the headwear on through to the 1895 Forage Cap.
Both volumes are well illustrated with clear, detailed
photographs and diagrams from the government records.
Now out of print, this two volume set continues to be a
valuable resource for collectors and has become a
collector item in its own right.
These are ex-libris copies that are in excellent “like
new” condition, showing no signs of use or wear. (0902)
$80 for the two book set
