- Lot Description
North America, United States, New York City, New York. ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. An impressive military wool felt and patent leather dress cap with a braided trim and gilded brass insignia plate. The stiff crown is comprised of black felt and a leather brim with metal grommets on the sides and top; perhaps for ventilation. The front medallion is embossed with "PRO PATRIA ET GLORIA" encircling a cut out 7 over a patch of red cloth, surrounded by flames and laurel branches. To the sides of the brim are golden buttons of flags and cannons with hooks and loops for securing the braided trim and chin strap. The interior is stamped with the Ridabock Company logo. This elaborate hat was supposed to both impress as well as command respect and authority. Size: 7" W x 6.25" H (17.8 cm x 15.9 cm)
Ridabock was a uniform manufacturing company establish in 1847 in New York City. This cap would have been part of a ceremonial uniform for the New York 7th Regiment National Guard. The 7th Regiment was established in 1806 as conflicts between the United States and the British Navy escalated in the New York Harbor. The regiment became an infantry unit during the American Civil War, however they were comprised mainly of New York’s elite socialites and gained the names "Silk Stocking" and “Blue-Bloods." Despite the class distinction, they were an effective military regiment that gained distinction and served overseas during WWI and WWII.
