I got a seriously OLD conductors hat from my uncle. This cap was made in 1896! The company is RIDABOCK & Company. They were famous for military hats and helmets in the early 1900's. There's more! It came from a railroad that was N.G.N.YMy uncle thought this was National Guards New York, but its a conductors hat so its something else. Pictures will come soon.

The 1896 cap can't fit my head. it's too small. PLus it isn't in any shape to be worn. It would probably rip apart. I plan to put the cap in a shadow box and preserve it.
