It's got some sort of weird thing running up both sides of the crown.View attachment 167474 Tom Brady at the Kentucky Derby—any ideas about what hat he’s wearing?
"Little Billy" Mahone, interesting character from the Civil War. I have been researching the name as my 4th great grandmother was a Mahone from Southwest VA, descended from Northern Irish immigrants, like Little Billy.William Mahone, Jr (1856 - 1927)
Son of Confederate Major General & US Senator William Mahone Sr. Of the thirteen children fathered by Gen Mahone, William Jr was one of only three to survive to adulthood.
At 7 - 10 yrs of age little William preferred the same flat top crown style as his dad wore all his life.

I have stuff on Gen Mahone, slated to replace Gen Robert E. Lee had The Confederacy not surrendered, but little of it on genealogy that might help you."Little Billy" Mahone, interesting character from the Civil War.

Thanks Jack. I like history anyway, especially Civil War and Old West, so reading about major characters always interests me.I have stuff on Gen Mahone, slated to replace Gen Robert E. Lee had The Confederacy not surrendered, but little of it on genealogy that might help you.
Any idea which museum?

If it was at the MOC, I would have seen it... about 45 years ago , memory's not that good.Not from memory, I'll look it up. I don't think it's at the Museum of the Confederacy.
