ORIGINAL TIN BOX, EPAULETTES, AND SASH. This interesting group includes a beaver chapeau showing a detached 5" black cloth cockade with an M1832 eagle, a 5 1/2" bullion tape, and a staff button. There is a full sweatband and red silk liner. Looking through the liner, a blue label in the crown bears the name "Jas. S. Smith". A military good manufacturer located at 15 Dutch St. in New York City. Also included in the lot is a pair of slide-on epaulettes with no rank insignia and red undersides and a maroon officer's sash. CONDITION: the chapeau is generally solid but has been crushed. The bottom edges, top, and ends show wear. One tassel is detached, as is the cockade and insignia. The tin box shows moderate wear but is relatively dent free. The epaulettes are tarnished and a bit soiled. The sash is generally free from problems but does show a bit of fading. (02-23624/BF). $1,000-1,400.
