Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice condition U.S. Marine Corps Dress Blue "Bell Crown" visor cap, intended to be worn by Enlisted Men for dress and parade occasions. The name comes from the pronounced flare out towards the top of the cap. This cap is constructed of wool fabric stretched over a wicker inner frame.
The cap features an early pattern brown leather brim, supported by pressed paper or fabric. The brown leather sweatband is stitched to the body of the hat, and is really in great shape, considering the age. It is marked on the underside by the maker, however it is quite faded and parts cannot be read:
J.N. SUSSKIND & CO., Inc.
Philadelphia, Pa.
The front of the cap bears the correct bright brass EGA for the "dress blue" scheme, with a brown leather adjustable chinstrap with two USMC side buttons. No moth issues to report, the hat is sound, not crushed or broken. We estimate the size to be 7 or so.
A great example to pick up a rare cap from the WWI Era!
