United States Boys' Cap Styles: Unidentified Headwear


Figure 1.-- This little Amnerican boy was photography by Manley's Gallery, but we are unure about the city. The portrait was probably taken about 1890. He wears a kilt suit with a Fauntleroy blouse. What we can't make out is his headwear. We think it may be a mortar board, but we are unsure. Note the tassles.

We note some caps or other headwear types that we are unable to identify. I some cases the images are not clear. In othercase we simply do not know what to call the headwear. Hopefully HBC readrs will be able to provide some insight to assist us identify the headwear involved.
