Sailor Cap Styles: Helmet-Like


Figure 1.--Here we are not quite sure, but the cap one boy wore with his sailor suit loks to be some kind of helmet-shaped cap worn with streamers. We have not seen anything quite like it before.

Here we are not quite sure, but the cap one boy wore with his sailor suit loks to be some kind of helmet-shaped cap worn with streamers. We have not seen anything quite like it before. The image is a photo postcard, orobably from the 1910s. The boy looks about 4 years old. He has a black scarfe and anchor embroidered dickey. His hair is cut in bangsHe holds a small cane. The interesting item here is the balck and white cap with ribbon trim and streamer. I'm not sure how to describe it.
