Early 1815 - 1830 New York Volunteer Militia hat or cap plate. Very large 15cm X 12.3cm (or almost 5 X 6 inches). It is probably dug and rare to be in this condition out of the ground. Condition can be seen in the pictures.

It is not listed in the Headgear Insignia book. There is one similar in the pictures.
