Original Civil War Union Bummers Cap with the paper makers label still attached. It measures 4" tall in the front and 6" tall in the back.
The sweat band is leather and is 1 3/4 wide. It has a polished cotton liner, paper makers label and two Eagle buttons on the intact chin strap. It was probably made in a contract in 1863 or 1864.
I looked the company up in my Military Suppliers book at one time, but cannot find my book now. This cap is guaranteed original.
