Some caps are difficult to make out. We note some American boys at the turn of the 20th century wearing sailor caps that look rather like tams. The ones we have noted are dark caos with an embridered symbol on the front. We are not sure if there was a streamer. These caps may have also been worn in Europe, but we do not yet have confirmation of that.
