Original Item: Only One Available. Dating from World War One or the early inter-war period this is a rare United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps (USVLSC) officer's peaked visor cap featuring bullion wire insignia, gilt chine strap and buttons. The interior is maker marked:

The Dreadnaught
Battleship Max Cohn
Uniforms & Equipment
198 Sand Street
Brooklyn, N.Y.

The bullion cap badge features an American Eagle (with red tongue), Crossed anchors and USVLSC around the central circle.

Overall condition is very good, with expected toning on the white exterior and some separation of the hat band and sweat band at the rear of the cap. Heavy high quality pressed leather visor with "scrambled egg" gilt bullion wire embroidery to the top.

Size is approximately US 7 1/4 (58cm)

The USVLSC existed in fifteen states where there were no federally-run life-saving stations and acted to supplement the U. S. Life Saving Service. It eventually merged with the Revenue Cutter Service (Massachusetts) to from the United States Coast Guard.
